Ingredients

For the Tzatziki Sauce:

2 Persian cucumbers peeled or 1 English cucumber
1⅓ cup whole milk Greek yogurt unsweetened and unflavored
2 tablespoons lemon juice plus more to taste
2 cloves garlic grated
1 teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
¼ cup fresh dill parsley, or mint – plus more for garnish

For the Chicken Salad:

4 cups rotisserie chicken cubed or shredded
2 Persian cucumbers peeled and diced (or 1 English cucumber)
4 small radishes thinly sliced
3 stalks green onions thinly sliced
1-2 stalks celery finely chopped
½ cup feta cheese crumbled
1-2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (to taste)

Instructions

Grate cucumbers and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Add to a bowl with yogurt, lemon juice, grated garlic, salt, pepper, and herbs. Mix well.
Add chicken, diced cucumbers, radishes, green onions, celery, and lemon juice. Toss gently to combine.
Top with feta and extra herbs. Chill if desired, then serve.

Notes

Drain cucumbers well: Prevents watery tzatziki
Use rotisserie chicken: Easy and flavorful
Grate garlic: Smoother, better flavor
Use fresh herbs: Dill, mint, or parsley
Chill before serving: 30–60 minutes for best flavor
Serving ideas: Pita, wraps, lettuce cups, or bowl
