Ingredients
3 cups cooked chicken, chopped or shredded
3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 cup cucumber, finely diced
1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
1/3 cup celery, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 small garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. Add the cooked chicken to a large mixing bowl.
2. Dice the cucumber, red onion, and celery, then chop the fresh dill.
3. In a medium bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
4. Add the cucumber, red onion, celery, and dill to the chicken.
5. Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture and gently fold until everything is evenly coated.
6. Cover and chill the salad for 20 to 30 minutes for the best flavor.
7. Serve on toasted bread, in pita, in lettuce wraps, or straight from the bowl.
Notes
Avoid using watery cucumber straight from chopping without blotting it dry, or the dressing can thin out too much and make the salad watery after chilling.
