Greek Lemon Chicken Salad for Two

So many of you love our Galilee Green Olive Oil because it is made here in Israel. Some of you love it because it is some of the highest quality and best tasting olive oil in the world.

And some of you love it because of its incredible health benefits and you are trying to change the way you eat.

Jeff & Melissa Brown

Jeff and Mellisa Brown of Mansfield Texas signed up in 2017 for ongoing shipments of Galilee Green as part of their commitment to a healthy life.

In the process they changed how they ate, lost weight and got more fit.

They eat much the way we do: cut way back on carbs, lots of fresh vegetables, great protein, and increased healthy fats like extra virgin olive oil.

This recipe for Greek Lemon Chicken Salad was adapted from one that showed up on Jeff’s FB page and fit right in with our Galilee Green lifestyle. It looked so delicious we decided to share it with you!
