Tzatziki Chicken Salad

A light and tasty chicken salad in a cool and creamy tzatziki sauce!

Tzatziki is a Greek style sauce made with yogurt, cucumber, garlic, lemon and fresh herbs and it’s one of my favourite summer foods! Chicken salad, cooked chicken in a creamy mayo dressing, is another summer classic and if you replace the mayo dressing with tzatziki, it gets even better! This is a super simple recipe that takes a basic chicken salad recipe and uses a tzatziki sauce for teh dressing!
