Tzatziki Chicken Salad
Homemade tzatziki sauce is the base for this healthy and creamy chicken salad, while kalamata olives, red onions, feta, and dill add salty, fresh, and crunchy elements to it.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
Tzatziki
- 1 cup plain greek yogurt, 2% or whole milk Greek yogurt are best
- 1 cup shredded cucumber, excess liquid squeezed out with paper towels
- 2-4 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Chicken Salad
- 4 cups shredded chicken
- 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
- 1/4 cup kalamata olives, chopped
- 3 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons chopped flat leaf parsley
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl add the ingredients for the tzatziki. Stir together until well combined.
- Add in the remaining ingredients and stir until they're coated in the tzatziki. Taste for seasoning and add additional salt, pepper or lemon juice depending on your taste.
- Serve the chicken salad in pitas, on top of romaine or mixed greens, or any of the suggestions listed above.
Notes
- I find that using the large holes on a box grater works best for shredding the cucumber.
