Cooking Notes, Variations & Substitutions
- Use whatever dressing you prefer to drizzle on your souvlaki salad. My dressing of choice is this skinny creamy cucumber feta dressing.
- A sprinkling of crumbled feta cheese, kalamata olives, and/or pepperoncinis would make nice additions, just remember to adjust your WW points accordingly, if that's a concern.
- Opt for bite-size pieces of pork or lamb instead of chicken if you like.
- This makes one satisfying entree salad but can be doubled easily.
