INGREDIENTS
3 oz Herb-Marinated Feta Cheese
2 oz Grilled Chicken Breast
1/3 cup Chickpeas
1/3 cup Edamame (Shelled)
1/2 medium Cucumber
1 medium Tomato
1/2 medium Red Bell Pepper
5 Kalamata Olives
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
2 tbsp Mixed Fresh Herbs (Parsley, Oregano)
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Prepare the herb marinade by combining lemon juice, mixed fresh herbs, a pinch of salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
Drizzle the marinade over the crumbled feta cheese and let it rest for at least 15 minutes to infuse the flavors.
While the feta marinates, chop the cucumber, tomato, red bell pepper, and a few thin slices of red onion if desired.
Rinse and drain the chickpeas, and lightly warm the edamame if preferred.
Dice the grilled chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.
In a large bowl, combine the chopped vegetables, chickpeas, edamame, chicken, and Kalamata olives.
Gently fold in the herb-marinated feta cheese, ensuring even distribution without breaking it down too much.
Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the salad and toss lightly to combine all the flavors.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed, and serve immediately.
