I’ve made it a point to do more meal prepping and for me that partly means coming up with a lot of different ideas for salads. Its important when eating healthy and prepping ahead that its easy to make and has big flavor and this  Greek Chicken Salad with Lemon Oregano Dressing really hits it on the head! Chopped romaine, tomatoes, cucumber, kalamata olives, red onion, feta and super flavorful marinated Greek chicken.

I  think a lot of times when people talk about salads all they can think of is being bored with them but let me tell you, this one has a ton of flavor and it starts with a simple Greek inspired marinade. Olive oil, lemon zest, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Toss with diced chicken breasts and allowed to absorb all that flavor for a few hours in the fridge. For this I    liked dicing the chicken to get even more of that flavor infused as opposed to leaving it whole.
