Healthy Lunch Ideas: Greek Chicken Salad Recipe

December 3, 2025

If there’s one thing I’ve learned as a perpetually busy human, it’s this – when life ramps up, the first thing I tend to sacrifice is myself. More specifically, my meals. I’ll spend hours supporting students, prepping lessons, answering emails, grading, and working weekends at the airport. Then I end up scrambling to find something nutritious for lunch.

A couple mentioned that they loved the flavors of a gyro, but felt an aversion to eating lamb. If you do not eat beef, you could use chicken and if you do not eat meat you could substitute large portabella mushrooms or eggplant.
