Instructions

Set the oven to broil. Line a baking pan with foil. Place the chicken tenders in a bowl with a little olive oil, no more than a tablespoon, and stir so the tenders are evenly coated with the oil. Generously sprinkle the chicken with the za’atar seasoning, stir to even distribute the seasoning.
Place the prepared chicken tenders on the foil lined baking sheet. Place the pan in the oven, about 6 inches under the broiler. Broil for 5 minutes, then flip the tenders over and broil for an additional five minutes, until the interior temperature reaches 165 degrees. Remove from oven and allow to cool while you prepare the salad.
Tear or cut the salad greens into bite-sized pieces and place in a large, shallow salad bowl. Attractively arrange the Feta cheese, tomatoes, olives, boiled egg slices, diced red onion, and diced cucumbers of top of the greens by group, leaving space for the chicken.
Cut the cooled chicken tenders into bite-sized slices and place on top of the salad greens.
In a small bowl, whisk together all the ingredients for vinaigrette. Taste and adjust seasoning.
Bring the salad to the table (so everyone has a chance to appreciate its beauty!), and then pour on the desired amount vinaigrette and toss just before serving.
