    Ad

    Jump to Recipe

    Today, I'm bringing you a gorgeous Greek chicken salad by Joe Wicks. It's fresh, tasty and healthy, and takes just 10 minutes to make.

    This speedy Greek chicken salad recipe is from the Gousto x Joe Wicks collaboration, shown here in a bowl

    Gousto has partnered with Joe Wicks of The Body Coach fame to release four-weekly recipes, aimed at families who want to live a healthy lifestyle. Joe and Gousto both share the mission of getting healthy home cooking on the table, ready to be enjoyed by the whole family.

    All the recipes use lean proteins, with low-carb and balanced options, as well as recipes with sources of healthy fats.

    Each of the family meals contains at least 1 of your 5-a-day per portion, and some even contain 4 of your 5-a-day! In particular, the healthier takeaway-style dinners and meals you can make in just 10 minutes are bound to be winners in our house.

    If you're not already familiar with how Gousto works, it's a clever recipe box subscription service, which delivers precise ingredients and recipe cards direct to your door. You get to choose from over 30 recipes each week, so there's no shortage of opportunities to make new, delicious meals at home.

    To try some of the new Gousto x Joe Wicks recipes out for myself, I ordered a family box for four containing:

    • 10-Min Speedy Greek Chicken Salad
    • Satay Chicken Lettuce Wraps
    • 10-Min Nifty Veggie Noodles
    • Spiced Shakshuka With Feta & Crunchy Pitta

    Here's how we got on with making the Greek chicken salad.

    Joe says, "This speedy Greek salad uses baby tomatoes, cucumber and olives, then a light lemon and garlic chicken for your nice lean protein. A lovely little herby couscous goes on the side. Sprinkle it all up with feta for a bit of tang."
