Herbed Greek Chicken Salad
This was last nights dinner and it was very YUM! The yogurt dressing has a beautiful cool taste and it's great for a hot day. We served the salad with a side of one small whole wheat pita, toasted, and topped it with our favorite spinach & artichoke Basha hummus. This is a wonderful light meal that is also very filling. It could be a lunch or dinner! Enjoy!
