Remove the skin from the rotisserie chicken and shred the meat into bite-sized pieces. Set aside in a large salad bowl.

Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the bowl with the chicken.

Step 3

Peel and deseed the cucumber, then dice it into small cubes and add it to the salad bowl.

Step 6

Crumble the feta cheese and add it to the salad along with the baby spinach.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.

Step 8

Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and gently toss everything together until well combined.

Step 9

Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to one hour to let the flavors develop.
