Copycat Souvla Chicken Salad

Ingredients

  1. 1 Small Bunch Lacinato Dino Kale (stems removed, finely chopped)
  2. 1 Small Head Romaine Lettuce (finely chopped)
  3. 2 Cups Rotisserie Chicken (shredded)
  4. 1 Bulb Fennel (sliced thin using a mandolin preferably)
  5. 1 Naval Orange (cut into segments)
  6. ½ Cup Pickled Onions
  7. ¾ Cup Feta Cheese (crumbled (they use mizithra cheese, which is harder to find))
  8. ½ Cup Pea Shoots (optional)
  9. 1 Cup Plain Greek Yogurt (full fat)
  10. ½ Cup Water (to thin)
  11. 2 Teaspoons Olive Oil
  12. 1 Lemon (juiced)
  13. 2 Cloves Garlic (mashed)
  14. 2 Tablespoons Ranch Seasoning
  15. 1 Tablespoon Fresh Dill
  16. ½ Teaspoon Kosher Salt

Instructions

  1. To make this salad, start by preparing the dressing. Add the Greek yogurt, water, olive oil, lemon juice, mashed garlic, ranch seasoning, fresh dill, and kosher salt to a bowl and whisk everything together until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed, then set the dressing aside.
  2. Next, prepare the salad base. Remove the stems from the lacinato kale and chop it finely. Add the chopped kale and romaine to a large bowl. Using a mandolin (or a sharp knife), shave the fennel as thinly as possible and add it to the bowl with the greens.
  3. Now, add the shredded rotisserie chicken to the bowl. Pour the dressing on top and toss everything together very well, making sure that every leaf and every piece of chicken is coated in that creamy granch goodness.
  4. Once the salad is fully tossed, divide it between two bowls. Top each one with the orange segments, pickled onions, crumbled feta, and pea shoots, if using. Serve immediately and enjoy!
  5. Store any leftover components separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to three days.
