Eat Clean with this Vibrant Mediterranean Chicken Salad!

Ingredients

Marinade/Dressing:

  • 2 Tbsps olive oil
  • juice of 1 fresh lemon
  • 2 Tbsps red wine vinegar
  • 2 Tbsps fresh chopped parsley
  • 2 tsps dried basil
  • 2 tsps fresh garlic minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • pepper to taste
  • 1 lb. chicken breasts

Salad:

  • 6 cups Romaine leaves chopped
  • 1 large cucumber diced
  • 2 tomatoes diced
  • 1 red onion sliced thin
  • 1 avocado sliced
  • ⅓ cup Kalamata olives
  • Fresh lemon wedges to serve

Instructions

  • Whisk all of the marinade/dressing ingredients in a glass mixing bowl. Pour out/separate half of the marinade into a large, shallow dish. Refrigerate the remaining marinade to use as the dressing later.
  • Add the chicken to the marinade in the bowl; marinade chicken for 15-30 minutes (or up to two hours in the refrigerator if time allows). Meanwhile, prep all the veggies for the salad and place them on a large platter or bowl.
  • Once chicken is ready, heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a grill pan or a grill over medium-high heat. Grill chicken on both sides until browned and completely cooked through.
  • Allow chicken to rest for 5 minutes; slice and arrange over salad. Drizzle salad with the remaining dressing and mix well. Serve with lemon wedges.
