Ingredients
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cucumber, grated
- 2–3 garlic cloves, pressed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 cups cooked chicken, chopped
- 2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup pepperoncini peppers, sliced
- 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, sliced
- 1/4 cup red onion, chopped
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
Directions
- Combine the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, pressed garlic, olive oil, and dill in a bowl. Stir until creamy and season with salt and pepper.
- In a salad bowl, combine the chopped romaine, halved tomatoes, sliced pepperoncini, olives, and red onion.
- Arrange the cooked, chopped chicken over the vegetables.
