  • In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, vinegar, oregano garlic, olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste; set aside.

  • Place the lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, red pepper, onion, parsley, and mint in a large bowl; add 1/2 cup dressing, toss to coat and season to taste with salt and pepper.

  • Divide salad and mound on four individual dinner plates or wide shallow bowls; sprinkle with olives and feta. Slice chicken crosswise into 1/2-inch-wide strips and fan out on top of individual salads. Place lemon wedge on each plate and serve immediately.

Cook's Notes

The lemon and olive oil dressing includes garlic. It's best to use a garlic press; pressing gives the garlic a nearly pureed texture that delivers a fuller, more pungent and even flavor. Serve the salad with lemon wedges for more fresh-squeezed juice on top. A very good vegetarian version without the chicken can also be made.
