This Tzatziki Chicken Salad is a fresh and healthy Mediterranean-inspired dish that’s perfect for lunch or dinner! It’s packed with juicy chicken, crisp veggies, tangy feta, and a creamy tzatziki dressing.

Ingredients

Scale

  1. 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. 1 cup Greek yogurt
    2. 1/2 cucumber, grated and squeezed to remove excess liquid
    3. 1 garlic clove, minced
    4. 1 tablespoon lemon juice
    5. 1 tablespoon olive oil
    6. 1 teaspoon fresh dill or mint, finely chopped
    7. 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 stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • For extra flavor, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice just before serving.
