I had the best Mediterranean Chicken Salad at Restaurant Mez (one of my previous birthday eats). I knew I could recreate this salad at home and I did it! I literally have been making and eating this salad daily. To make things easier, I prep all the ingredients ahead of time (like the grilled chicken). This has been the perfect salad for all the warm weather we've been getting in DC because I haven't felt like cooking any hot meals for dinner lately. This is not only a beautiful salad, its absolutely delicious and healthy. I love the red wine vinaigrette with this salad especially since that is how they serve it at Restaurant Mez. Enjoy!
