Hey Dads,
Here is an easy and unbelievably delicious healthy meal option for lunch or dinner. While traveling in Greece and Turkey, I fell in love with zesty lemon dressings over Mediterranean Salads. Turns out it's also very healthy for you! Non-Red meat like chicken, turkey, and fish are all great options to keep this meal heart-healthy. But if you want to go all out with a steak and salad meal, then just omit the chicken and enjoy!
(for 2 servings)
1 chicken breast
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh dill
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
⅓ cup greek yogurt(95 g)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons water
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh dill
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
1 head romaine lettuce
½ cup cucumber(65 g), sliced and halved
½ cup olive(90 g), halved
½ cup red onion(75 g), thinly sliced
½ cup cherry tomato(100 g), halved
½ cup feta cheese(75 g), crumbled
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place chicken breast on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Top with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, dill, and salt and pepper to season.
Bake for 35-40 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the juices run clear.
Add all dressing ingredients in a small bowl or cup and whisk with a fork until combined.
Slice thinly or cube chicken, cutting to your preference for topping the salad.
Assemble your salad, starting with a base of romaine lettuce. Then top with chicken, cucumber, olives, red onion, tomatoes, feta, and the dressing. Toss to evenly incorporate ingredients
Enjoy!
