Description

A vibrant Greek Chicken Salad with Tzatziki that combines grilled chicken, fresh vegetables, and a creamy dressing for a delightful culinary experience.


Ingredients

  • 🍗 Grilled chicken breast – 2 pieces (about 500g), sliced
  • 🥬 Mixed greens – 4 cups (such as romaine, spinach, and arugula)
  • 🍅 Cherry tomatoes – 1 cup, halved
  • 🥒 Cucumber – 1 medium, diced
  • 🧅 Red onion – 1/4 cup, thinly sliced
  • 🫒 Kalamata olives – 1/2 cup, pitted and halved
  • 🧀 Feta cheese – 1/2 cup, crumbled
  • 🥣 Tzatziki dressing – 1/2 cup (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken by mixing olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and oregano. Coat the chicken and let it marinate for at least an hour.
  2. Grill the marinated chicken on medium heat for 6-7 minutes on each side until cooked through. Let it rest before slicing.
  3. Prepare the tzatziki sauce by grating cucumber, squeezing out excess moisture, and mixing it with Greek yogurt, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and salt.
  4. Assemble the salad by layering mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, Kalamata olives, feta cheese, and sliced grilled chicken in a large bowl. Drizzle with tzatziki dressing before serving.

Notes

  • For best flavor, marinate the chicken overnight.
  • Use fresh ingredients for optimal taste.
  • Serve with warm pita bread or as a wrap for a portable meal.
