Preparation
Step 1
The Sauce:
In a food processor add 4-5 tbsp of the roasted garlic or garlic confit, 4oz feta cheese, 4 tbsp Greek yogurt, 2 tbsp mayo, 2 tbsp white vinegar, 1/4 cup water, a generous pinch of salt, lots of fresh cracked black pepper. Process well, taste and adjust. This is a thicker sauce, but you can thin it down later with water if you like.
Step 2
The Salad:
First, finely chop 6-8oz of raw broccoli and add it to a mixing bowl. Finely dice 2 baked chicken breasts (you can use thighs or rotisserie chicken here, too). Add it to the same bowl.
Finely dice 1 red onion, add it to a smaller bowl, top with cold water, and mix a couple times over 15-20 mins. Submerging them in cold water takes away that intense, sharp bite from the raw onion. After its soaked for a few minutes, strain and add to the same bowl as broccoli and chicken.
Add as much sauce to the bowl as you want, toss everything together, give it a taste and adjust as you like. Then top with some more crumbled feta, some chili flakes, or any other topping you like.
