Ingredients
3 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
1 cup Greek yogurt, full fat for creaminess
1 medium English cucumber, deseeded and grated
3 tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed
Instructions
Grate the English cucumber using the large holes of a box grater
Place grated cucumber in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture thoroughly
Whisk Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, and chopped dill in a large mixing bowl until smooth
Fold shredded chicken into the yogurt mixture until evenly coated
Add dried grated cucumber to the bowl and stir gently to combine
Season with sea salt and cracked black pepper to taste
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving
Notes
Use rotisserie chicken for time efficiency and moist texture
Ensure cucumbers are well-dried to prevent a watery salad
Optional additions: chopped cherry tomatoes, red onion, or toasted pine nuts for crunch
Serve with whole grain pita, mixed greens, or fresh vegetables like bell peppers and carrots
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days
