- 2 to 3 garlic cloves, pressed
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 Tbsp fresh dill, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups cooked chicken, chopped
- 2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup pepperoncini peppers, sliced
- 1/2 cup kalamata olives, sliced
- 1/4 cup red onion, chopped
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
Instructions
1. In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, garlic, olive oil, and dill until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
2. In a large salad bowl, toss together romaine lettuce, grape tomatoes, pepperoncini peppers, kalamata olives, and red onion.
3. Add the chopped cooked chicken on top of the salad mixture.
4. Spoon the prepared tzatziki over the salad and chicken.

Use rotisserie chicken for a quick shortcut.
Drain excess liquid from grated cucumber to keep the dressing thick.
