Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 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

Directions

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Stir salad and serve on lettuce leaves.

Tips

Crackers can be used in place of the lettuce.
