Refreshing Cucumber and Avocado Salad with Grilled Chicken and Feta

This refreshing salad is perfect for a light and healthy meal. The cucumber and avocado provide a crisp and creamy base, while the grilled chicken adds protein and flavor. The feta cheese and red onion add a touch of saltiness and acidity, and the oregano, olive oil, and red wine vinegar dressing brings it all together. This salad is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. For example, you could add other vegetables, such as cherry tomatoes or bell peppers, or you could use a different type of cheese, such as goat cheese or mozzarella. This salad is also a great way to use up leftover grilled chicken.

This salad was inspired by a trip to Greece, where I had a similar salad at a taverna on the island of Mykonos. I loved the simplicity of the dish and the way the flavors of the different ingredients complemented each other. I recreated the salad when I got home, and it quickly became a favorite of mine. I often make it for lunch or dinner, and it's always a hit with my friends and family.
