Tzatziki Chicken Salad
Tzatziki Chicken Salad is an all time favorite, healthy, low-fat Chicken Salad made quickly and easily. Serve with the Lavash Crackers (recipe link included in post) or with wholewheat bread for a light, yet filling lunch or light dinner.
There is nothing better than a quick salad for lunch. I often made a bowl of salad the night before when I used to work full time.
And if there was a salad dressing which might have made the salad ingredients go soggy, I always included the dressing separately in a smaller *tiny really!) bowl. And stacked it on top of my salad until such time I was ready to have lunch.
This Tzatziki Chicken Salad is even better as everything gets mixed together and it stays good for a couple of days in a sealed container in the refrigerator.
I usually make this salad when we have had Chicken the night before as it is a great way to use any leftover Chicken.
You can of course also pick up a rotisserie chicken and use that instead ! Huge time saver, especially if you thought of making this Chicken salad at the last minute.
Served with the Lavash Crackers this is a perfect early light dinner for us. Not rich at all, but filling enough.

Sounds Delicious! Approximately how many will this recipe serve? I would like to make this for a greek themed Bunco. Im guessing I would need to triple or quadruple this recipe.Thank you, Brenda
Thank you Brenda ! The recipe is enough for 4 people to serve for lunch 🙂 Hope this helps and enjoy the salad !
Yes, Thank You very much! Cant wait to try this 🙂 Brenda
Sounds wonderful! I love tzatziki, yum!
I want to eat the chicken salad because of the cucumbers, but that bread in the background (lavash crackers) looks amazing!!
Wow it looks delicious, perfect for lunch!
This sounds perfect for my summer lunchboxes. I've pinned it for then. Yum!
I never would have thought to use tzatziki in chicken salad. Great idea, Linda! Thank you for sharing.
Great idea. I love tzatziki and I love using greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise in many recipes. I don't know why I haven't thought of this but I'm glad you did. I will definitely try this soon. It would be delish in a pita.
What a great idea to use tzatziki in chicken salad instead of mayo. Love it! Stopping by from Happiness is Homemade, thanks for sharing!
This looks fantastic, Linda! I love chicken with tzatziki sauce but never thought to make it as a chicken salad. Such a good idea! -Amy
Yum – I love tzatziki! Great idea. I always add some feta in with my tzatziki though, so would probably add it to the chicken salad. Thanks for the recipe!
Hi, Linda – this looks so delicious! So fresh and yummy; I want some now. Thanks so much for linking at On Display Thursday. I am so glad you stopped by!
This looks so delicious Linda. I love the make-ahead ability with this recipe too, and its a smart way to use up leftover chicken. Thanks for sharing. Pinning!
