Time 2h5m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup diced English cucumbers
1 ¼ teaspoons salt, divided
2 tablespoons diced red onion
1 cup Greek yogurt
⅓ cup chopped Kalamata olives
1 ½ tablespoons chopped fresh dill
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
1 teaspoon lemon zest
½ teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
3 cups diced cooked chicken
¾ cup crumbled feta cheese
½ cup diced seeded plum tomatoes
1 head Bibb lettuce, or more as needed

Steps:

  • Place cucumbers in a colander; set onto a plate. Toss cucumbers with 1 teaspoon salt. Let rest to draw about liquid, about 30 minutes. Pat dry with paper towels.
  • Place red onion and 1 cup cold water in a bowl. Let soak until the strong onion flavor is weakened, 5 to 10 minutes. Drain and rinse.
  • Combine cucumbers, red onions, Greek yogurt, Kalamata olives, dill, vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, lemon zest, oregano, and black pepper in a bowl. Fold in chicken, feta cheese, and tomatoes. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate salad for at least 1 hour.
  • Stir salad and serve on lettuce leaves.

I used grilled chicken in this salad and it was delicious! I also added some avocado and it was a great addition.
