Loaded Greek Salad

I made this salad for lunch almost every single day during the summer. It is delicious and filling.

For this recipe, I prepared the rice and chicken on Sunday. I also clean and slice the tomatoes and cucumbers. You can store the rice in a container, the chicken in a container, and the cucumbers & tomatoes in a container. Then each night when preparing lunch for the next day, add the lettuce, cucumber & tomatoes, rice, and chicken to a large travel container. I put the dressing in a small container that fits inside of the salad bowls. 

It takes about 5 minutes to prepare the salad each evening because all of the other ingredients are prepared. Fully preparing the salad each night makes the morning way smoother.

My favorite greek salad dressings are the Mother Raw Greek Salad Dressing or the Primal Kitchen Greek Salad Dressing.

Enjoy!
