Ingredients
2 cups shredded cooked chicken
1 cup Greek yogurt
1/2 cup grated cucumber (about 1 medium)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 clove minced garlic
1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
1/4 cup pitted kalamata olives
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
Combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber (drained if using store-bought tzatziki), minced garlic, dill, parsley, olive oil, lemon juice, and salt in a bowl to make tzatziki sauce
In a separate bowl, mix shredded chicken, red onion, and kalamata olives
Stir tzatziki into the chicken mixture until evenly combined
Fold in crumbled feta cheese
Adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or red pepper flakes (if using)
Chill salad for 15-30 minutes to let flavors meld before serving
Notes
Use freshly cooked or shredded rotisserie chicken for best texture
Tzatziki can be made up to a day ahead and refrigerated
For extra crunch, add thin slices of peeled cucumber on top
