A refreshing Mediterranean-inspired dish that’s perfect for lunch, dinner, or meal prep! This flavorful chicken salad swaps out mayo for creamy Greek yogurt and is packed with fresh herbs and a zesty kick of lemon.
- 3 cups cooked, shredded chicken
- ½ cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 English cucumber, shredded
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 3 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh mint, chopped
- 1 ½ tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
Prepare the cucumber: Place the shredded cucumber in a clean towel and squeeze out excess moisture.
Make the tzatziki dressing: In a large bowl, combine the drained cucumber, Greek yogurt, dill, mint, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir until well blended.
Mix the salad: Add the shredded chicken and sliced red onion to the bowl, tossing everything together until evenly coated.
Chill & serve: Let the salad sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
Enjoy! Serve in a pita, over a salad, or with your favorite crackers.
