Ingredients
Scale
For the Salad:
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced (rotisserie or grilled works great)
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup cucumber, diced
1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup Kalamata olives, sliced
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
2 tablespoons fresh dill or parsley, chopped
For the Tzatziki Dressing:
1 cup Greek yogurt
1/2 cucumber, grated and squeezed to remove excess liquid
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon fresh dill or mint, finely chopped
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
Make the Tzatziki Dressing: In a bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and fresh herbs. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to use.
Prepare the Salad: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, red onion, Kalamata olives, feta cheese, and dill or parsley.
Assemble the Salad: Pour the prepared tzatziki dressing over the salad ingredients. Gently toss until everything is well coated.
Chill and Serve: Cover and refrigerate the salad for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled as is, over a bed of greens, or in pita bread for a Mediterranean wrap
Notes
This salad can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
For extra crunch, try adding some roasted chickpeas or toasted pita chips as a topping.
