Greek Chicken Salad

Please, please do not use a farmed salmon variety. It is environmentally destructive, the taste is abhorrent as is the overall nutritional content.

“Make it your own. I added some pesto to the shot above. Try incorporating roasted sweet potatoes into the salad for more carbs. Go crazy and sprinkle with a little feta cheese! ”
