Greek Chicken Salad from Cook at Home Mom

BBQGuys is excited to share Whole30® recipes from our friend and lifestyle blogger Laura Miner, aka “Cook At Home Mom”! Her Whole30 ® recipe for Greek Chicken Salad is an old favorite. “Years ago, I used to work right next door to a great Greek restaurant, and I’d wait my whole shift to go and pick up my favorite thing on their menu - a big, fresh salad with chicken breast on top. Nowadays, I make this Whole30 ® version and it has all those delicious elements I used to love - lots of crunchy veggies, grilled eggplant, and plenty of fresh oregano."
