A refreshing and flavorful chicken salad with a Mediterranean twist, perfect for a light meal or side dish.
Chop the yellow and red bell peppers into bite-sized pieces.
Use a sharp knife to ensure clean cuts and preserve the texture of the peppers.
Slice the English cucumber into thin rounds.
If the cucumber has a waxy skin, consider peeling it for a smoother texture.
Combine the chopped peppers, cucumber slices, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped fresh herbs in a large mixing bowl.
Gently toss the ingredients to avoid breaking the feta cheese.
Juice the lemon and whisk it together with the olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning as needed before adding it to the salad.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
Add the dressing gradually to avoid over-dressing the salad.
Transfer the salad to a serving platter and garnish with fresh mint sprigs.
Serve immediately for the freshest flavor and presentation.
