Ingredients

Salad Base

  • 4 cups shredded Romaine lettuce (224g)
  • 2 cups cauliflower rice (214g) (defrosted if using frozen)

Protein

  • 400 grams precooked chicken (sliced)

Vegetables

  • 1 cup Persian cucumbers (52g) (sliced)
  • 8 oz tomatoes (227g) (cut into small wedges or grape tomatoes)
  • 1/2 green pepper (130g) (sliced)
  • 1/2 red onion (40g) (thinly sliced)
  • 1/2 cup kalamata olives (55g) (pitted)

Dressings & Toppings

  • 4 oz feta cheese (112g) (cut into small cubes)
  • 4 Tbsp tzatziki sauce (60g)
  • 1/4 cup+ vinegar dressing (optional)
  • Fresh dill (optional garnish)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Salad Base: Add the shredded Romaine lettuce evenly to the bottom of each serving bowl to create a fresh and crisp salad foundation.
  2. Add the Chicken: Top the lettuce with the sliced precooked chicken. Rotisserie chicken works well for convenience and flavor.
  3. Add Vegetables: Layer the cucumber slices, tomato wedges, thinly sliced red onion, green pepper slices, and pitted kalamata olives evenly over the chicken and lettuce.
  4. Incorporate Cauliflower Rice: Defrost cauliflower rice if frozen, then add it evenly over the salad to provide a nutritious and low-carb base.
  5. Top with Cheese and Sauces: Sprinkle the small cubes of feta cheese over the salad, drizzle with vinegar dressing or plain vinegar as desired, and add dollops of creamy tzatziki sauce on top.
  6. Final Garnish and Seasoning: Garnish with fresh dill if using, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately and enjoy this vibrant Greek-inspired salad bowl.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken for a quick and flavorful protein option.
  • Cauliflower rice can be used fresh or defrosted from frozen.
  • Adjust the amount of vinegar dressing to suit your taste preference.
  • Fresh dill adds a nice herbal note but is optional.
  • For a vegetarian version, omit the chicken and consider adding more vegetables or chickpeas.
