Sometimes dinner just needs to be simple.
I mean, we all love a delicious, Sunday-type dinner once in awhile, but with everyone running every which way around here most weeknights (EDIT: Not now! Now we are not running anywhere due to the current COVID-19 situation, but a quick dinner is still sometimes nice!), sometimes a simple salad becomes the star of the show. When you can make a simple salad looks and tastes anything but simple, you win!
These greek salad is deconstructed on the serving plate…making it easier for an entire family to pick and choose what they enjoy and want on their plate. The dressing is one of the best you will ever have and adding some grilled chicken on the side will make this the absolutely perfect weeknight dinner.
