Step-By-Step Instructions:
- In a medium bowl, mix together the lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, olives, red onion, cheese, and chicken. For meal prepping, evenly divide the salad between 4 meal prep containers (about 2 heaping cups each).
- In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, olive oil, mustard, oregano, and pepper.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat. Or, store the dressing separately, and drizzle over the salad just before serving.
- Enjoy the pita chips on the side or break into bits and sprinkle over your salad for added crunch.
- DIY: Try making your own pita chips! Use 1 whole wheat pita (6 1/2" diameter or about 2 oz.). Cut the pita in half and cut then each half into quarters. Separate each piece for a total of 16. Place on rimmed baking sheet and spray lightly with olive oil nonstick spray. Turn over each piece and spray the other side. Bake at 375 degrees F for about 10 minutes or until crisp.
