Greek Chicken Salad

Recipe from Kitchn

Pairs with: Un Jardin D’Ete Rosé – a Table & Vine Vineyard Selection

This soft, subtle wine has a graceful, floral like quality with a hint of fresh raspberries. The flavors are light and graceful , a  truly enjoyable wine, perfect on its own or with lighter, understated foods.

Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients:

For the croutons:

2 slices crusty bread, cut into 1-inch squares
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon oregano

For the salad:

2 heads romaine lettuce, sliced into 1-inch pieces
1/2 small red onion, sliced
2 Persian cucumbers, sliced
1/4 cup pitted kalamata olives, halved
2 cups chopped cooked chicken

For the dressing:

1/4 cup plain yogurt (whole or low-fat)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
1 small clove garlic, pressed or grated on a microplane
1/2 cup (2 ounces) crumbled feta cheese

Instructions:

Spread the cubed bread out on a foil-lined toaster oven sheet pan, or in a skillet if you don’t have a toaster oven. Sprinkle the olive oil, lemon juice, and oregano over the bread and toss to coat evenly. Toast the bread or sauté over medium heat for a few minutes, until croutons are browned.

In a large salad bowl, combine the lettuce, onion, cucumbers, and olives. Add the croutons and chicken to the salad bowl with the vegetables. In a small bowl, whisk together all of the dressing ingredients, then pour over the dressing and toss until all of the ingredients are evenly coated.
