Greek Style Chicken Salad

This salad has Greek style chicken, cucumber, tomato, red onion, and feta - it’s fantastic!

I finally have my whole family liking Mediterranean/Greek foods which is an absolute win for me because I have been obsessed with them for the past couple of years. I think it was a win too because my picky youngest loves the Greek chicken! This is a fairly basic salad recipe with homemade Greek style chicken. But I think that it’s a great salad - you don’t always have to go super complex for a meal to be great.
