Greek salad meal prep made easy!
Meal prepping salads or bowls for the week makes it easier to stick to a weight loss plan. Just assemble the Greek chicken salad and divide it between meal prep containers or mason jars for the week.
Our Greek salad bowl with chicken combines a classic Greek salad with roasted chicken breasts, cauliflower rice, and our easy tzatziki sauce. Plus they have 39g of protein, 10 net carbs, and are less than 350 calories each!
To assemble the salad bowls as fast as possible, we show you how to make short cuts like using rotisserie chicken, frozen cauliflower rice, and buying tzatziki sauce instead of making your own.
Key ingredients
- lettuce- we used romaine but any salad green works.
- chicken - pre-cooked boneless skinless chicken breast slices or rotisserie chicken
- red onion - thinly sliced.
- kalamata olives- a mix of olives with or without pits can be used in place of kalamata.
- cucumbers - we used Persian cucumber slices but you can use any variety
- tomatoes - cut into small wedges. Cherry or grape tomatoes will also work
- Feta cheese - cut into small cubes or crumbled.
- green pepper - cut into large dice. Red, yellow, or orange bell peppers can also be used.
- cauliflower rice - an optional item that's easy to skip, we defrosted frozen cauliflower rice.
- tzatziki sauce - storebought or homemade
- fresh dill - optional garnish
- red wine vinegar dressing or just use extra virgin olive oil and red wine vinegar like they do in Greece.
Ingredient notes
To keep the fat down, we often add feta cubes OR tzatziki sauce when we're trying to lose weight...not both. Our homemade tzatziki dressing recipe works well with non-fat Greek yogurt too. You can also just add a drizzle of red wine vinegar and skip any dressing with oil.
Variations
- Change the protein: Instead of chicken, you can use shrimp, salmon, lamb, steak, or meatballs.
- Make chicken gyros bowls by adding strips of pita bread on the side.
- Make dairy free Greek buddha bowl by using falafel or tofu and by adding hummus instead of feta or sauce.
- Add a grain: we used cauliflower rice to keep the carbs down, but quinoa, brown rice, or farro are great healthy starches.
How to make a Greek chicken salad
Step 1. Add the chopped Romaine lettuce to the bottom of the bowls, add the cooked chicken slices.
Step 2. Arrange the vegetables around the chicken, including the tomatoes, cucumber slices, red onion slices, and kalamata olives. Add the cauliflower rice if you're using it (totally optional).
Step 3. Add the feta cheese cubes, a drizzle of red wine vinegar dressing, and the tzatziki sauce.
Step 4. Garnish with fresh dill and add salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!
Helpful tips

- If you're meal prepping these for your week, add the sauce or dressing before serving.
FAQ's
Whether you are meal prepping or simply storing leftovers, you are going to want to store the prepared Greek salad bowls in an airtight container in the fridge. They will last for up to 4 days when stored properly.
For best results, don't add the dressing or tzatziki sauce until ready to eat it.
Greek salad is filled with low-carb and keto-friendly ingredients. To keep Greek salad as low carb as possible, check the labels, especially for store-bought red wine vinegar dressing and tzatziki sauce.
