GREEK CHICKEN CUCUMBER AVOCADO SALAD RECIPE | CHEFDEHOME.COM

An amazing Cucumber Avocado Salad with flavorful Greek Chicken, sweet tomatoes, red onion, olives, and feta. Loaded with  Mediterranean flavors and creamy avocado this salad is the perfect addition to your Summer Dinner Menu. Gluten-free, carb-free. 

The combination of buttery avocado with briny olives, feta, and Greek oregano dressing is to-die-for. Really, one-more-serving-please kinda delicious. You will LOVE the flavors. 

<ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:block; text-align:center;min-height: 250px;" data-ad-layout="in-article" data-ad-format="fluid" data-ad-client="ca-pub-6316610776672658" data-ad-slot="2981660712"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script>

This Chicken Salad is also my favorite because here dressing does double work; it is a 1) Salad Dressing 2) Marinate for Chicken. This salad is inspired from my Greek Chicken Souvlaki kabobs recipe. The oregano marinade for Chicken Souvlaki is so delicious, I keep a big jar of the marinade in refrigerator. From marinating chicken to quick salad dressing, it helps me many ways and flavors is always spot-on! (can never go wrong with oregano) 

Remember the Chinese Honey-Mustard Chicken Salad I shared last week? That dressing also has similar qualities of marinade + dressing.

Chicken Avocado Salad

Greek Salad Dressing:

To make Greek Chicken for this salad, I start by making the Salad Dressing. It is super quick to mix. All ingredients from ingredient list in Recipe Card except garlic. To keep salad taste fresh longer, I don't add garlic in the dressing. Instead, I add minced garlic to a portion of dressing which will be marinade for chicken.

Greek Chicken Marinade:

Marinade is a portion of dressing mixed with finely minced garlic, parsley, generous pinch of salt and black pepper. You will be amazed some garlic and minced parsley transform Salad Dressing to a delicious Greek-style marinade for chicken.

30 minutes in marinade and chicken is flavorful, ready to grill or pan-sear. The sweetness of marinade caramelize the chicken on cooking, and earthy oregano, garlic, and lemon add delicious Greek flavor.

Cooked Greek Chicken for Chicken Salad

This simple hack saves time and makes a salad so good it will be your favorite all summer long.

While chicken is marinating and dressing is ready... Preparing Avocado Salad is as easy as 1-2-3.

Cucumber Avocado Salad Ingredients

To assemble the salad, I toss diced avocado, cucumber, olives, red onion, feta cheese with half of remaining dressing. Just like any avocado salad, it is best to assemble avocado salad just before serving and mix in dressing right after cutting avocado. Acid in the dressing will keep avocado fresh, vibrant and not let oxidize quickly. 

Tip: Coating just diced avocado in a splash of lime juice also helps to keep it vibrant green longer.

Because this salad has avocado - salad has double dose of creaminess; 1) from avocado 2) from room temperature feta cheese. Salty feta also makes earthy avocado taste so OMG delicious that I wonder why not every Avocado Salad has feta cheese.

I hope you will enjoy this salad as much as we do. For more Greek Inspired Summer dinner menu I recommend trying:
