Ingredients
- 4 cups chicken cooked and shredded
- 1 cup cucumbers diced
- 1 cup grape tomatoes halved
- 1/2 cup black olives sliced
- 1/4 cup red onion chopped
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill or 1 teaspoon dried
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
- 1/2 cup Feta cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Shred your cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces and place in a large mixing bowl.
- Chop the vegetables: Dice red onion, halve grape tomatoes, and chop cucumbers into small chunks.
- Make the dressing: In a separate bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, dill, oregano, and salt until creamy and smooth.
- Combine the salad: Add the olives and chopped vegetables to the bowl with the chicken. Pour the dressing over the top and gently toss until everything is evenly coated.
- Chill (optional): For best flavor, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. This helps the flavors meld together.
- Enjoy: When ready to serve, sprinkle with Feta cheese. Serve cold in a pita, over greens, with crackers, or as a delicious chicken salad sandwich.
Notes
Helpful Tips:
- To reduce the strong flavor from the onions, soak them in cold water for 5 minutes before adding to the salad.
- After testing several different options, I thought an equal balance of mayo and Greek yogurt tasted the best but you can add more or less of each to your personal preference.
- You can use Garlic Powder instead of minced. Just reduce to 1 teaspoon.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the refrigerator.
