Greek Style Chicken Salad with Thyme Vinaigrette
Chicken, Tomato, and Mango Salad with Feta
Take for instance this Greek inspired chicken feta salad. It has lots of fresh elements and very less cheese to call it filling yet healthy summer lunch salad. And good news - you can make this salad ahead of time.
Just cook chicken at night; make vinaigrette, chop veggies in the morning and you are good to go.

Even though, start ingredients in this salad are – chicken and olives, I must tell you that mango is worth a mention. Fruit of season, fresh ripe sliced mangoes give this salad much needed sweetness and take this salad to whole new level.

I especially love small dots of feta over mango, olives and tomatoes. Don’t they look like little jewels scattered around in a plate which you can spoon into your mouth anytime ;). Gorgeous eye-candy salad!!
Love this salad! In-fact looking at pictures today is inspiring me to make it again this week.
