Serves: 5 servings

- 2 teaspoons Za'atar seasoning
- Skewers (if wooden, pre-soak in water)
Greek-Style Salad
Ingredients
- 1½ cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1½ cups diced cucumber
- 2 small sweet bell peppers (I used orange and yellow snack-sized peppers)

Instruction
Instructions
In a large ziplock bag, place the chicken pieces, lemon zest and juice, garlic and oregano sprigs.
Seal the bag and place in the refrigerator for about 3 hours.
Remove the chicken from the bag (it doesn't matter if zest is still clinging to it) and place on pre-soaked skewers.
Sprinkle with the Za'atar seasoning on both sides.
Grill over medium flame for 4 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through.
Instructions
Place all of the ingredients in a small bowl, toss to combine.
Serve at room temperature.
