    Kebabs

    3 Tbsp (45 mL) extra-virgin olive oil1 Tbsp (15 mL) red wine vinegar1 to 1 1/2 Tbsp (15 to 22 mL) dried oregano leaves2 to 3 garlic cloves, minced1/2 tsp (2 mL) sea salt2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into small pieces1 red onion, coarsely chopped

    Salsa

    4 radishes, thinly sliced1 small English cucumber, seeded and coarsely chopped1/2 cup (125 mL) crumbled feta cheese1/4 cup (60 mL) each chopped parsley and mint1 Tbsp (15 mL) extra-virgin olive oil2 tsp (10 mL) red wine vinegar

    4 pitas (optional)

    For kebabs, in large bowl, whisk oil with vinegar, oregano, garlic, and salt. Add chicken and onion; toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes or overnight.

    For salsa, in bowl toss radishes with cucumber and cheese. Sprinkle with herbs, oil, and vinegar. Stir to mix evenly.

    When ready to grill, oil grate and preheat barbecue to medium-high. Alternately, thread chicken and onion onto skewers, leaving room between pieces so they cook faster. Grill, turning often, until chicken is cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes.

    To serve, slide meat and onion from skewers onto grilled pitas, if using. Top with salsa and serve.
