Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, mustard, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking continuously until the dressing is smooth and slightly thickened.
Shred the cooked chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces using two forks.
If freshly cooked, allow the chicken to cool slightly before assembling the salad.
In a large salad bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, and red onion.
Pour the lemon-oregano dressing over the salad ingredients.
Toss gently until everything is evenly coated.
Add the crumbled feta cheese, chopped parsley or mint, and Kalamata olives.
Fold gently once or twice to preserve the texture of the feta.
Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy.

Notes

For the most authentic flavor, use high-quality feta cheese and Kalamata olives. Avoid overmixing after adding the feta to keep the salad fresh, vibrant, and beautifully textured.
