Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, fresh dill, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to make the tzatziki sauce.
Add the cooked chicken, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and optional feta cheese and olives to the bowl with the tzatziki sauce.
Toss everything together until the chicken and vegetables are evenly coated with the sauce.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed.
Serve the Tzatziki Chicken Salad chilled or at room temperature. You can enjoy it on its own, inside pita bread, or over a fresh salad.

Notes

You can substitute Greek yogurt with regular yogurt, but the texture will be less thick.
