Greek Inspired Chicken Salad

There are a million ways to make salad, and here’s another to add to your list! This Greek inspired chicken salad is similar to a traditional Greek salad but were swapping the lettuce for kale, and adding in a few extras. I also like to top mine with sunflower seeds for a little crunch. If you like this recipe, try my Chicken Cesar Pasta Salad recipe !
