Think outside your normal salad, and go Greek with this recipe for a simple Cobb salad. Yogurt is used in both the marinade and dressing recipe. In a marinade, it helps to tenderize the chicken, and in a dressing, it adds body, tang, and richness, which is balanced by the zesty Oaktown Spice Shop Greek Seasoning.
Ingredients
- ½ cup full fat Greek yogurt
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- Zest of 1 lemon
- Juice of 1 lemon
-
1 tablespoon Oaktown Spice Shop Greek Seasoning

Directions
Make the marinade:
In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, garlic, lemon zest and juice, Greek Seasoning, and olive oil. Add the chicken breasts to the marinade and toss to coat. Cover with plastic wrap, and let marinate in the fridge for 30-45 minutes.
Make the dressing:
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, red wine vinegar, Greek Seasoning, dijon mustard, and olive oil until combined. Thin with water as needed to reach your desired consistency.
Cook the chicken:
Heat a grill pan or pan to medium heat. Add the chicken, and grill for 6 to 8 minutes per side, or until fully cooked. Transfer to a plate, and let sit for 5 minutes before slicing.
Arrange the lettuce, chicken, cherry tomatoes, rice, chickpeas, cucumber, onion, olives, feta, and parsley on a large serving plate or bowl. Drizzle with the dressing, and season with additional Greek Seasoning, if desired.
