Why you will love this Greek chicken pasta salad

This is the perfect spring or summer dish for a party or light meal on a hot night. It’s packed with protein, and is a great way to use leftover chicken. This salad can easily be made ahead of time for the week too so that you can nosh throughout the week! I like to make the homemade Tzatziki because it just tastes so much fresher but if you’d like you can use store bought too!

Greek chicken pasta salad

Ingredients:

For the salad:

• 1 box of pasta cooked al dente
• 3 boneless chicken breasts, cooked, diced
• 1 jar of kalamata olives, drained, pitted and diced
• 1 cucumber diced
• 1/4 red onion diced
• 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, diced
• 1 block of feta cheese, cut into cubes

For the dressing: (or store bought is fine)

• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1/2 cup cucumber, finely grated and water squeezed out.
• 1 Tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1 Tbsp garlic, minced
• 1 Tbsp fresh dill, chopped
• 1 Tbsp fresh mint, chopped
• salt (to taste)

Directions:

1.) If you’re using a homemade Tzatziki dressing, start by making the dressing. In a medium sized bowl combine all dressing ingredients and then refrigerated. If you’re using store bought, skip this step.

2.) In a large bowl, combine the salad ingredients – the pasta, veggies, chicken, and feta cheese.

3.) When ready to serve, top with Tzatziki dressing and mix well.

Enjoy!!!
