Instructions

Prepare the Salad: In a large salad bowl, combine the diced romaine lettuce, tomato, bell pepper, cucumber, red onion, and cooked chicken. Toss to distribute evenly.
Add the Feta and Olives: Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese and kalamata olives over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Make the Dressing: In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the avocado (or olive) oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, and dried marjoram. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Toss the Salad: Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss until well coated.
Serve: Serve immediately, or refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.

Notes

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Keep the dressing separate until ready to serve to avoid wilting the lettuce.

Make Ahead: Prep the ingredients ahead of time and store in separate containers. Add the dressing just before serving to keep everything fresh.

Variations:

For a vegetarian version, omit the chicken and add chickpeas or grilled tofu.

Add extra veggies like artichoke hearts or roasted red peppers for more flavor.

Dairy-free: Omit the feta and replace with dairy-free cheese or extra olives.
