Directions:

1. Prepare the dressing by combining feta, yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper in a mini food processor. Process until smooth, about 10 seconds. Stir in the chopped dill.

2. Divide the spinach, chicken, chickpeas, cucumbers, peppers, and almonds among 4 plates. Drizzle each plate with 1/4 cup of the dressing before serving.

Tip: For the best flavor, toast the almonds before using them in the recipe. Place them in a small dry skillet and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant, for about 2 to 4 minutes.

To make ahead: Refrigerate the dressing (Step 1) in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
