With flavorful chicken leftover from earlier in the week, these dinner salads don't require any cooking and come together super fast. Toasted pita wedges and tzatziki (yogurt and cucumber dip) give these salads the flavors of classic Greek gyros.
Cucumber - Use a box grater to finely shred cucumber. Sprinkle some salt over top (this will help draw out liquid) and then press shredded cucumber between paper towels to extract as much moisture as possible.
Make tzatziki - Chop dill. Combine cucumber, dill, oregano, garlic powder, yogurt, lemon juice and vinegar. (Can be done up to 4 days ahead)
Onions / Carrots - Prep as directed. Store separately. (Can be done up to 4 days ahead)
Warm leftover chicken in the microwave or in a skillet with some oil.
Toast pita and slice into wedges.
Give tzatziki a stir and season with some salt and pepper. If it is too thick to easily spoon over the salads, thin it slightly with a bit of water.
Assemble salad by forming a bed of lettuce and topping it with onions, carrots, tomatoes, olives and chicken. Top salads with a spoonful of tzatziki. Serve pita wedges on the side with extra tzatziki for dipping. Enjoy!
