  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 large head romaine lettuce, chopped
  • 1 pound cooked chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 4 to 5 green onions, sliced
  • ½ bunch fresh dill, chopped
  • Pita chips, crushed (for serving)
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • ⅛ cup fresh lemon juice
  • ½ tablespoon honey
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. In a small jar or bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, honey, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes until smooth to make the vinaigrette. Set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine romaine lettuce, chicken, feta cheese, green onions, and dill.
  3. Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and toss well to coat evenly.
  4. Top with crushed pita chips or serve them on the side for added crunch.

Notes

  • Omit chicken for a vegetarian version.
  • Swap chicken with grilled steak, shrimp, or salmon for variety.
  • Add cucumber, zucchini, red bell peppers, or avocado for extra flavor and texture.
  • Use salt and vinegar chips instead of pita chips for a tangy twist.
  • Store vinaigrette separately if prepping ahead to keep lettuce crisp.
