Tzatziki Chicken Salad

I’ve had a more traditional Chicken Salad with Grapes and Walnuts up on my menu forever, but lately, I’ve been hooked on the Homemade Tzatziki Sauce. So, I decided to try for a Greek-inspired chicken salad that uses something like that traditional sauce as the dressing. And, man, am I glad I did!

Pieces of tender, juicy chicken and crunchy cucumber are tossed together with a Greek yogurt-based dressing loaded with fresh lemon, dill, and garlic. The bright, refreshing flavors of the lemon and dill, next to the creamy tang of the yogurt and the salty feta, are so addictive. I’m telling you, this tzatziki chicken salad is about to become your new meal prep favorite. Serve it with warm pita or wrap it up in crisp lettuce leaves for a fuss-free meal that’ll make you wish you packed double!
