CHICKEN GYRO SALAD!!

Every time I think of a GYRO, I think of lamb, tomato, onion and yogurt sauce on pita bread, because that’s what a Gyro is. But this Chicken Gyro Salad takes a new direction…a summer salad that has orange peppers, chopped romaine lettuce, chopped pitted green olives…etc. (see the recipe for details). You have to grill the chicken and peppers; slice them up; add the dressing; serve with pita chips and feta. Its summertime…a  great time to eat salads and enjoy every second of it! I would like to thank Good Housekeeping for coming up with this recipe.

Here is what you’ll need to make a Chicken Gyro Salad:
