This Mediterranean-inspired chicken salad is a refreshing and flavorful dish, perfect for a light meal or a summer gathering.
Combine the shredded chicken, sliced cucumber, crumbled feta, pitted olives, and chopped parsley in a large mixing bowl.
Ensure the chicken is fully cooled before mixing to maintain the salad's freshness.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, dried oregano, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning as needed before mixing it with the salad.
Pour the dressing over the salad base and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
Mix gently to avoid breaking the feta cheese into very small pieces.
Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Chilling the salad enhances the flavor and makes it more refreshing.
Serve the salad on fresh lettuce leaves and enjoy.
For a more elegant presentation, use a mix of colorful lettuce varieties.
