While this dressing is still mayo based, we’ve added in dill, oregano, and garlic for some Mediterranean flare. Combined with the creamy feta it is seriously addictive. It’s the kind of simple, no-fuss dressing that pulls everything together without overpowering the fresh ingredients. To distribute all those flavors evenly, we recommend mixing the dressing in a small bowl first, then dressing the salad.

In a pinch you can serve the salad immediately after making it, but if you have time we highly recommend you cover the bowl and pop it in the fridge for at least an hour to really let those flavors meld. When you’re ready to eat, give it a good toss and this Feta Chicken Salad is ready to go. It’s a great option for meal-prepping or throwing together a last-minute lunch– everyone is sure to enjoy this one. Give the recipe a try and taste for yourself!
