Greek Salad with Chicken

I am generally not a big fan of Greek salad, nor am I huge fan of salad for dinner. But this recipe is awesome! The key to making this delicious is to take your time with the chopping to make it really all blend together.


Ingredients:
2 1/2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
3 cups chopped romaine lettuce
8 oz poached chicken breasts, chopped
1 medium tomato, chopped
1/2 medium cucumber, peeled, seeded and chopped
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
1/4 cup sliced ripe black olives
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

Instructions:
1. Poach chicken: in a medium skillet place chicken breasts, then add slightly salted water just to cover it. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low and simmer until cooked, about 10-15 minutes.
2. Whisk vinegar, oil, dill, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a large bowl.
3. Add lettuce, chicken, tomato, cucumber, onion, olives and feta; toss to coat.
