• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

• ½ cup cucumber, sliced

• ½ cup mixed olives (green and Kalamata)

Method

1. In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss diced chicken in the marinade and let it sit for 20-30 minutes.

2. Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Cook the chicken pieces for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and slightly charred. Remove and set aside.

3. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey (if using), garlic, salt, and pepper.

4. On a large serving platter, layer romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, red onion, red bell peppers, and olives. Top with grilled chicken pieces and crumbled feta cheese.

5. Drizzle the dressing evenly over the salad. Garnish with fresh basil or mint leaves.

6. Serve immediately with warm pita bread or on its own for a light, flavorful meal.
