In a large bowl, combine:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 lemon juiced
3 garlic cloves minced
1 tablespoon oregano
1 teaspoon paprika

For the chicken: ½ teaspoon black pepper
Add and toss well to coat:

4 Persian cucumbers chopped
½ cup pitted olives roughly chopped
½ cup chopped red onions
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ teaspoon salt
For the bowls: ½ teaspoon black pepper
