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.
