⅓ cup fresh oregano, chopped
⅓ cup fresh dill, chopped
⅓ cup feta, crumbled
Optional: protein of your choice (we used sliced chicken breast)
Dressing –
1 cup olive oil
6 T lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, minced (~2 tsp)
2 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
- Whip the dressing together or you can put it in a jar and shake until emulsified.
- Put together all the ingredients of salad in a bowl, toss with dressing and you can serve them.
