Greek Salad with Grilled Chicken
This salad is bursting with flavor and freshness. The yogurt, mustard, vinegar, and garlic combine to make a flavorful dressing without drowning your lettuce in oil, like many restaurant salads. This entrée salad can also be served as a side dish by simply omitting the chicken.
