Greek Chicken Salad Lettuce Wraps

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Are you looking for a fresh, full-of-flavor, twist to a classic salad that will make mealtime vibrant? These Greek Chicken Salad Lettuce Wraps will give your taste buds a kick and brighten up your plate at the same time with all the Mediterranean flavors we love in a single lettuce wrap.

I’m going to show you how to make these epic low carb lettuce wraps for lunch or dinner.

Greek Lettuce Cups: Simple and Delicious. This meal comes together in one bowl and it perfect for the office lunchbox.

Growing up in Spain, the fresh flavors of good olive oil, olives, and cheese were abundant in our meals. Perhaps, it’s why I love to add many of those flavors to my meals, especially lunchtime.

As a mom, when people ask me about lunch ideas I immediately think “school lunch”; but in reality, we all have to eat lunch too! These lettuce wraps are much like the other lettuce wraps you will find on this website, fresh, flavorful, and really easy to make.

Lettuce wraps have become my new favorite way to eat just about anything. And with my secret method for keeping lettuce fresh longer, I’m able to enjoy lettuce cups even more! 

I love the crunch and how I get a little bit of flavor with each bite.

Check out how easy these are to make in this quick video.

Wasn’t that easy? It’s just making a big Greek salad and dividing it up in lettuce cups. Sure it’s an extra step but eating it out of a cup is like eating a taco, it’s a lot more fun.

I recently received an email asking me why I love lettuce wraps so much, and I replied that I simply can’t resist the idea of eating what otherwise would be a fork-only meal with my hands -sorry mom!

Greek Lettuce Cups: Simple and Delicious. This meal comes together in one bowl and it perfect for the office lunchbox.

The real reason is that it’s ultimately fresh food, and I simply love to devour it. But what makes this a terrific family-friendly meal is that you can set up all the ingredients out on the table family-style and let everyone build their own “cup” for themselves.

I know that kids sometimes don’t like to mix their foods so allowing them to build-their-own is a simple step to teaching them to love a variety of foods.

    Greek salad is one of my absolute favorites! I make mine like this, but I use a Greek dressing instead, and put in artichokes too. Great way to use up chicken!
