Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by grating your cucumber, then place the grated pieces in a clean paper towel. Squeeze out excess moisture to ensure your tzatziki chicken salad doesn’t turn watery. Set the drained cucumber aside.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the squeezed cucumber with plain Greek yogurt, fresh dill, lemon juice, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir well for about two minutes until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  3. Add your shredded rotisserie chicken and finely diced red onion to the tzatziki sauce. Gently toss all the ingredients together for about one minute, ensuring every morsel of chicken is coated.
  4. Serve your Tzatziki Chicken Salad on pita, crackers, or over salad greens. Plate attractively to showcase the vibrant colors.
  5. If you have leftovers, transfer the chicken salad to a tightly sealed container and refrigerate it for up to five days.
