Crunchy romaine lettuce, cucumber and onion get tossed with an easy lemon-oregano salad dressing and topped with convenient rotisserie chicken, feta cheese and kalamata olives. It’s a no-cook meal that is sure to satisfy on a hot day.

RD tip: Take advantage of peak summer vegetables like cucumber and tomato with this salad. When they’re in their summer prime, they deliver the most nutrients like lycopene and vitamin K.
