Ingredients

Mint Vinaigrette

  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil, if desired
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh or 1/2 teaspoon dried mint leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 small clove garlic, finely chopped

Salad

  • 6 cups bite-size pieces assorted salad greens
  • 2 cups cut-up cooked chicken
  • 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 medium tomato, cut into wedges
  • 1/2 cucumber, cut lengthwise in half, seeded and cut into 1/4-inch slices
  • 1/2 green bell pepper, coarsely chopped
  • 2 medium green onions, sliced (2 tablespoons)
  • 12 kalamata or pitted ripe olives

Steps

  • 1
    In tightly covered container, shake all vinaigrette ingredients until well blended.
  • 2
    In large bowl, mix all salad ingredients. Add vinaigrette; toss to mix.

  • Feta is a soft, crumbly cheese with a sharp, salty flavor. Traditionally, this classic Greek cheese was made with sheep or goat's milk, although today it's often made with cow's milk.
  • Leftover cooked chicken is perfect for no-cook supper salads. If you don't have any on hand, pick up cooked chicken at your supermarket deli, or use canned cooked chicken.
