A delightful chicken salad with a Mediterranean twist, perfect for a light meal or snack.
Prepare the vegetables by finely chopping the celery and onion.
Use a sharp knife to achieve even cuts and prevent bruising the vegetables.
In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise and cream cheese until smooth.
Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing.
Add the shredded chicken, chopped vegetables, and olives to the bowl.
Gently fold the ingredients to maintain their texture.
Season the mixture with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and oregano. Stir well.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Chilling allows the flavors to meld together for a more cohesive taste.
Serve the salad chilled, garnished with additional oregano if desired.
Pair with crusty bread or fresh greens for a complete meal.
