Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded

1 cup Greek yogurt

1 medium cucumber, grated and drained

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

2 cups mixed greens (spinach, arugula, or romaine)

½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved

¼ red onion, thinly sliced

¼ cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced

Instructions
 

Prepare Tzatziki Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, lemon juice, dill, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well until smooth. Set aside in the refrigerator to let the flavors meld for about 15-20 minutes.

    Prepare Chicken: If not already done, cook the chicken breasts by grilling, baking, or poaching until fully cooked. Let them cool slightly before shredding the meat into bite-sized pieces.

      Assemble Salad: In a large salad bowl, layer the mixed greens, shredded chicken, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and Kalamata olives.

        Dress the Salad: Pour the prepared tzatziki sauce over the salad and gently toss until everything is well-coated. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if desired.

          Serve: Divide the salad among plates or bowls, and if you like, drizzle a little extra olive oil and garnish with additional dill or cucumber slices. Enjoy chilled!
