I am so excited to share my Tzatziki Chicken Salad recipe with you today since it is a modern take on an old favorite. In this recipe, classic chicken salad is paired with the creamy, tangy tastes of tzatziki, a favorite Greek sauce. If you’re in the mood for something simple but filling, this combination is ideal for a fast lunch or light supper. This recipe is perfect for those hot days when you want something refreshing to eat or when you just want to spice up your usual chicken salad.

You can use this tzatziki chicken salad in so many ways. For a revitalizing salad, place it on top of a bed of fresh greens, such as romaine or arugula. For a filling snack or lunch on the go, try scooping some onto some warm pita bread or rolling it into a wrap. To make a low-carb appetizer that is both elegant and crisp, try filling endive cups with the salad. To really bring out the flavors of this meal, try it with a glass of crisp white wine or some iced tea.
