Ingredients

  • 4 cups cooked chicken, chopped
  • 3 large cucumbers or 2 English cucumbers, diced
  • 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt or unsweetened coconut yogurt
  • 2 teaspoons dried dill or 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  3. Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture and toss gently until evenly coated.
  4. Serve immediately or chill for 1–2 hours to allow flavors to develop.

Notes

  • Use shredded chicken for a different texture.
  • Fresh dill gives brighter flavor, but dried works well too.
  • Add chopped celery or herbs like mint or parsley for variation.
  • Serve in wraps, lettuce cups, or over greens for a full meal.
  • For less water, remove cucumber seeds before dicing.
