Greek Salad with Chicken

Have lunch. We all have the best intentions to cook, which is not usually the case. Our lack of willingness can lead to over-pricing of prices beyond our colleagues’ lunch budgets, or lack of choice in self-driving fast food restaurants (well, suuuuure, frying.) Or worse, we skipped when walking to the door after work, would Lunch breaks out.

One of the things that drove me to the mystery “eat lunch to eat” is preparing some of my favorite ingredients for a full and healthy lunch salad (also for dinner), and I know I can put it in the fridge all week for years.

This recipe is an improvised classic Greek salad with grilled chicken. Every day I yearn to add typical Greek and Mediterranean flavors to Kalamata olives, crispy cheese and crunchy cucumber, and add two recipes that are easy to prepare every day.
