GREEK CHICKEN SALAD
My family loves this dish. Use light mayonnaise and this is a healthy salad. Even if you or your family are not garlic lovers, I'd advise that you use the full measurement of garlic and the tablespoon of oregano for the proper flavoring. I receive nothing but raves when I serve this salad.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: This is especially important for the chicken, tomatoes, and feta cheese. Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the overall taste of the salad.
- Marinate the chicken ahead of time: This will help to infuse the chicken with flavor and make it more tender. You can marinate the chicken for as little as 30 minutes or up to overnight.
- Cook the chicken properly: The chicken should be cooked through but still juicy. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
- Use a variety of vegetables: This will add color, flavor, and nutrients to the salad. Some good vegetables to use include tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, and bell peppers.
- Make your own pesto: Pesto is a flavorful sauce that is made with basil, olive oil, Parmesan cheese, pine nuts, and garlic. It's easy to make and can be used in a variety of dishes.
- Assemble the salad just before serving: This will help to prevent the vegetables from getting soggy. You can also add the dressing just before serving.
