Tzatziki Chicken Salad
Tender chicken tossed in creamy, garlicky tzatziki sauce with crisp veggies — this Tzatziki Chicken Salad is a fresh, flavorful, and healthy meal!
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken shredded (rotisserie chicken works great!)
- 1 cup Greek yogurt plain, full-fat for creaminess
- 1 cucumber diced (seeded for less water)
- 1/2 red onion finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tbsp lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp fresh dill chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Shred your cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces. You can use leftover grilled chicken or a store-bought rotisserie for convenience.
- Chop the Veggies: Dice the cucumber (remove the seeds to prevent excess moisture) and finely chop the red onion.
- Make the Tzatziki Dressing: In a large bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, dill, parsley, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Combine Everything: Add the shredded chicken, cucumber, and red onion to the dressing. Mix until everything is well coated.
- Chill and Serve: For the best flavor, let the salad chill for 30 minutes before serving. This lets the flavors meld together beautifully.
