I like an occasional salad as a main dish meal – especially on busy nights! With chicken, Feta cheese, spinach and tomatoes being some of my favorite ingredients – it only seemed natural to incorporate them into this salad.
When you need a quick and easy meal idea, this salad is a hit – just serve it with some bread or rolls!

Ingredients
For the marinade
- ½ cup olive oil
- 3 – 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 lemons, juiced
- 6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
For the salad
- 1 bag fresh spinach leaves, 16 oz.
- 3 roma tomatoes, sliced
- 1 medium cucumber, peeled and sliced
- ½ cup chopped red onion
- Crumbled Feta cheese
For the salad dressing
- ⅓ cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dijon-style mustard
- ½ cup red wine vinegar
Instructions
- In a large zip-top bag, combine the marinade ingredients. Squeeze to mix well. Add the boneless, skinless chicken breasts to the bag. Marinate for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator.
- In a medium bowl, combine all of the salad dressing ingredients. Pour into a salad dressing cruet. Store tightly covered at room temperature until serving time.
- Preheat a grill to medium. Place chicken on oiled cooking grates and cook, uncovered, for 10-12 minutes or until the chicken juices run clear, turning twice.
- Plate the spinach. Top with tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, Feta cheese. Slice the chicken and place atop the salad. Serve with salad dressing on the side.
Notes
- I like to serve this as a meal with yeast rolls. It’s the perfect light meal especially on warm days.
