Diner-Style Greek Salad

with Chicken plus Feta & Quick-Pickled Red Onion

Our spin on a fresh, crisp Greek diner-style salad features traditional Greek salad ingredients like tomato, green pepper, and briny crumbled feta cheese tossed with tender chicken in an herby vinaigrette. You’ll quick-pickle red onion until bright pink to add zingy pops of tangy flavor throughout, and splash the Greek vinaigrette with a little of that pickling liquid for a boost of acidity that brightens the whole dish. Put down that take-out menu—we’ve got your order covered.

Instructions

4 steps
  1. 1

    Wash and dry produce. Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion. Trim and discard root end from lettuce; cut into bite-size pieces. Halve tomatoes lengthwise. Halve, core, and dice green pepper into ¼-inch pieces.

  2. 2

    Pat chicken* dry with paper towels and season all over with salt and pepper (cut into bite-size pieces if necessary).

    Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken in a single layer; cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes.

  3. 3

    Meanwhile, in a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine vinegar, ½ tsp sugar (1 tsp for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt; stir until sugar is dissolved. Add onion and toss until evenly coated.

    Cover with plastic wrap and microwave until onion is bright pink, 30 seconds. Toss onion in liquid; drain, reserving pickling liquid.

  4. 4

    In a large bowl, combine vinaigrette and ½ TBSP reserved pickling liquid (1 TBSP for 4 servings).

    Add lettuce, tomatoes, green pepper, half the feta, half the chicken, and as much pickled onion as you like. Toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

    Divide salad between bowls and top with remaining chicken and remaining feta. Serve.

    Chicken is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.
