Tzatziki Chicken Salad is a cool and creamy Mediterranean-inspired twist on traditional chicken salad. Made with Greek yogurt, cucumber, dill, and lemon, it’s light, tangy, and perfect for wraps, sandwiches, or enjoying straight from the bowl.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or chopped
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup cucumber, finely chopped or grated (excess water squeezed out)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill (or 1 tsp dried dill)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Optional: 1/4 cup diced red onion, cherry tomatoes, kalamata olives, or crumbled feta

Instructions

  1. Grate or finely chop the cucumber, then squeeze out excess moisture using a clean towel or paper towels.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, dill, salt, and pepper.
  3. Add the cooked chicken and cucumber (and any optional add-ins) to the bowl and stir until well combined.
  4. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  5. Chill for 15–20 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
  6. Serve in pita, lettuce wraps, on toast, or over greens.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken for a fast shortcut.
  • For extra tang, add a splash of red wine vinegar.
  • If storing overnight, stir before serving as yogurt may release moisture.
