 Preparation:

Tips:

1. Use Greek yogurt: Greek yogurt is essential for the creamy and tangy tzatziki sauce.
2. Don’t over-dress: Dress the salad just before serving to prevent the ingredients from becoming soggy.
3. Add some crunch: Include some crunchy elements like chopped cucumbers, bell peppers, or pita chips to add texture.
4. Customize to taste: Feel free to add your favorite Mediterranean ingredients, such as Kalamata olives, artichoke hearts, or sun-dried tomatoes.
5. Make ahead: Prepare the tzatziki sauce and grill the chicken ahead of time to make assembly easier.
