Chopped Greek Salad with Chicken

We eat a lot of salads in our house, so I am always trying to find quick, easy, and delicious combinations to try.  This chopped Greek salad with chicken was a tasty lunch last weekend.  It is an item on my Positively Kid Friendly Menu 3; however, I need to take it off that menu since one child said, “I don’t like olives!” and the other said, “I don’t like feta cheese!” Hmmm… the older children have a more sophisticated palate.

The kids did eat it, they just picked a bit around the ingredients that they did not like. This salad is double fast if you have leftover chicken in the house.  I used chicken from a rotisserie chicken.  I also served a slice of pita bread along side the salad. It was delicious!
