A refreshing and creamy Tzatziki Chicken Salad combining Greek yogurt, fresh herbs, and vibrant vegetables for a light and flavorful meal perfect for wraps, salads, or sandwiches.

Ingredients

Salad Dressing and Base

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup grated English cucumber, excess moisture squeezed out
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 garlic cloves, peeled and grated
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Salad Ingredients

  • 4 cups cooked chicken, chopped or shredded
  • 1 cup diced cucumber
  • 1/2 cup diced celery
  • 1/2 cup diced red onion
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dressing: In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, lemon juice, grated garlic, fresh dill, parsley, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated to create the tzatziki-style dressing base.
  2. Add the salad ingredients: Into the bowl with the dressing, add the chopped or shredded cooked chicken, diced cucumber, celery, red onion, and crumbled feta cheese. Mix thoroughly so that all components are coated with the creamy tzatziki dressing. Taste and adjust lemon juice, salt, or pepper as desired.
  3. Serve and garnish: Serve the Tzatziki Chicken Salad over a bed of greens, with pita chips, stuffed inside pita pockets, wrapped in lettuce cups, or used as a sandwich or wrap filling. Optionally, garnish with chopped tomatoes, kalamata olives, extra feta, and fresh herbs for added flavor and presentation.

Notes

  • This salad is great for meal prepping and keeps well refrigerated for up to 3 days.
  • Make sure to squeeze out excess moisture from the grated cucumber to avoid a watery salad.
  • Use rotisserie chicken or leftover cooked chicken to save time.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute Greek yogurt and feta with plant-based alternatives.
  • Serve chilled for best flavor and texture experience.
