Cranberry Chicken Greek Salad




I love salads for the summer. They are light, refreshing, super easy to do and (my favorite) easy on the waistline! ;)

**Please note that I left out tomatoes and olives, if you are a fan I encourage you to add them!**

2 Chicken Breast
1 cup of dried Cranberries
1 cup of Fat free Feta Cheese (I always get a Red Pepper flavored Feta cheese to add a pop to my taste buds)
1 bag of a Mixed Green salad (I always use the 5-Lettuce mix)
1/2 of a Cucumber sliced into fours
1/4 of a White Onion sliced
1 cup of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/4 cup Red White Vinegar
1 tablespoon of Oregano
1 teaspoon of Minced Garlic
1/4 cup of Lemon Juice
Salt and Pepper
Season All Seasoning

-Lightly season chicken breast with salt, pepper and season all and cook in a medium skillet until chicken is cooked throughout. Once cooked, remove from pan and chop chicken into cubed pieces.

-In a large bowl add 5-lettuce mix.

-Add chicken, feta, onions, cranberries and cucumbers on top of salad and mix witth hand.

-In a rubbermaid or Glad container (it has to be a container that has a leak proof lid) add Olive oil and red vinegar to the container. Then add, lemon juice, oregano, garlic and salt and pepper to taste. Seal container with leak proof lid, and shake, shake, shake!

-Pour dressing to your desired liking over salad
