Not only is it super delicious, but it’s great to take with you. Are the vacations over already? Okay, I get it, but the good food continues!

What about that weekend picnic that was left unbooked? Here is the perfect suggestion for the meal.

It’s super light and the feta sauce is a good complement both in flavor and creaminess.

Moreover, it works super well cold, which is a big plus in case you want to take it with you anywhere.

And the best part is that there are really no complications. After all, who has time and patience for things that are too elaborate? ahah

Ahh, and of course, this salad doesn’t work only to take in picnics or in lunch boxes… It’s a must try to take to the beach!

How do you make this Chicken Salad with Feta Sauce?

Season the chicken well, put it in the frying pan, and set aside for a few minutes.

Add the greens and season, just before putting the chicken on top.

Make the feta sauce in a blender and serve.

For this recipe you’ll need:

• Chicken breasts
• Micro-leaves of watercress or lettuce
• Arugula
• Snow Peas
• Salt
• Pepper
• Olive oil
• Feta cheese
• Garlic
• Coriander
• Milk
• Lemon
• Sunflower seeds

What tricks will ensure that this Chicken Salad with Feta Sauce tastes just right?

1. Buy a good quality feta cheese and preferably a creamy one.
2. It is important that you season the greens before you mix the chicken in.
3. The snow peas give a nice crunch to the salad.
4. Coriander makes all the difference in the sauce.
5. The milk sounds strange, but it will help the feta cheese become creamier and have a more velvety texture.
6. Grind the feta cheese in a blender, since if you just crush it with a fork, it will be hard to get the desired consistency.

Notes

As for the feta sauce, you can use whatever herbs you like. I think coriander is AMAZING.

Add a little water if the sauce gets too thick.

You can also choose other seeds if you prefer. 

If you want to take it with you, I suggest you put the salad in a glass bottle with the chicken and put the dressing either in the bottom of the bottle or in a separate jar.
