Tips and Tricks

 Use Fresh Herbs

Fresh dill and parsley add a bright, fresh flavor to the salad.

 Don’t Overcook the Chicken:

Cook the chicken until it’s just cooked through to prevent dryness.

 Chill the Salad:

Chilling the salad allows the flavors to meld together and the chicken to absorb the tzatziki sauce.

 Adjust the Sauce:

Adjust the amount of tzatziki sauce to your liking, depending on how creamy you prefer the salad.
