2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
1 cup Greek yogurt
1 cucumber, seeded and finely diced
2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 clove garlic, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup Kalamata olives, chopped (optional)
Directions
1. In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, cucumber, dill, lemon juice, and minced garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
2. Add the shredded chicken to the bowl and mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the tzatziki mixture.
3. Stir in the red onion and Kalamata olives, if using, until everything is thoroughly combined.
4. Let the chicken salad chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
5. Serve chilled, with your choice of sides or in a wrap or pita bread.
Variations & Tips
This recipe is truly a canvas for your culinary creativity. For a zestier flavor, add a teaspoon of lemon zest or a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes. If you’re a fan of herbs, try incorporating some chopped fresh mint or parsley for additional freshness. For those who prefer a creamier texture, fold in a tablespoon or two of mayonnaise or sour cream to the yogurt mixture. Veggie lovers might enjoy adding chopped bell peppers or shredded carrots for extra crunch and color.
