Greek Chicken Salad

I was at work one day and got the hankering for Greek Salad. I know it isn't traditional, but I wanted to make it a little heartier so I added chicken to the mix and I do not care for bell peppers so I left it out. An aunt has an abundance of tomatoes from her backyard, so this was a good way to use them. The beauty of salads is that you can add as much or as little of what you like.

Ingredients

• Whole rotisseried chicken
• 1/4 of a red onion
• 1 can of olives (we have black on hand so that's what I used. You can use any kind as Kalamata is traditional)
• 3 large tomatoes
• 1 cucumber
• 4 ounces feta cheese
• 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  
• 1 clove grated garlic
• black pepper
  

Take all the meat off the chicken and place bite size pieces into a large bowl.
Dice the red onion into small pieces.
Cut up the olives.
Dice the tomatoes.
Peel and chop the cucumber.
Place feta cheese on the top.


In a separate bowl, mix olive oil, red wine vinegar, oregano, garlic and pepper until emulsified. Pour dressing over salad and toss.

I decided to put the salad into a pita and it tasted great! Definitely hit the spot.
