Feta Chicken Salad

I made this to take to work for lunch.  It's so simple and seriously delicious!  And it's healthy - bonus!! I didn't have a yellow pepper so I left it out.

Feta Chicken Salad

2 C shredded chicken breast
1/2 C cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 C chopped English (seedless) cucumber
1/2 C chopped sweet yellow pepper
4 tsp lemon juice
4 tsp olive oil
1/2 tsp Greek or Mediterranean seasoning
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1/4 C crumbled feta cheese

In a large bowl combine the first 4 ingredients.  In a small bowl, whisk the lemon juice, olive oil, Greek seasoning, salt and pepper.  Pour over chicken mixture and toss to coat.  Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.  Just before serving, sprinkle with cheese.




*Disclaimer: the original recipe from Taste of Home Healthy Cooking magazine also called for 1/2 C finely chopped red onion but seriously - why ruin a perfectly delightful dish!?  Just sayin'...
