Today Lauren and I made Chicken Gyros and Crunchy Salsa Salad for dinner! I found this chicken gyros recipe after looking for a shawarma recipe. Not quite what I was looking for but yummy just the same. The salad I came up with when I was looking for something to eat for lunch. We will be making this again!
Enjoy
