Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (roasted or rotisserie is best, because we’re fancy like that)
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (they’re like little flavor bombs)
- 1/2 cup cucumber, diced (for that crunch, crunch, munch)
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced (for a little zazzle)
- 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled (because cheese makes everything better)
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for that fresh vibe)
For the Dressing
- 1/4 cup olive oil (the liquid gold)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (hello, zing!)
- 1 clove garlic, minced (bring on the flavor party)
- Salt and pepper, to taste (seasoning is key, my friends)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, feta, and parsley. It’s a colorful fiesta already!
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined. This is where the magic happens, folks.
- Drizzle the dressing over the chicken mixture and toss gently to combine. Coat everything nicely like a cozy blanket of tangy goodness.
- Let it sit for a few minutes to allow those flavors to mingle. You know, just like we do at parties!
