Cucumber Chicken Salad
Made with tender rotisserie chicken, crisp cucumber, and a rich Greek yogurt dressing. This easy chicken salad is great for meal prep, light lunches, or a quick dinner.
Ingredients
- 4 cups rotisserie chicken pulled from the bone & roughly chopped
- ⅓ cup Greek yogurt plain, full-fat or low-fat
- 2 tablespoon mayonnaise use dairy-free if needed
- 1 cup cucumber diced, seeds removed
- ½ cup red onion finely diced
- 1-2 tablespoon fresh dill finely chopped
- 2 teaspoon fresh garlic minced
- 2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Paprika for garnish
- Chives or green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Remove the meat from the rotisserie chicken, discarding the bones, tendons, and skin (if desired). Roughly chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
- Slice the cucumber in half lengthwise, scoop out and discard the seeds, then dice the cucumber into small pieces.
- If the cucumber is too watery, use a paper towel to soak up excess moisture.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken, Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, cucumber, red onion, fresh dill, garlic, and Dijon mustard.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir gently until all ingredients are well combined.
- Garnish with a sprinkle of paprika and chives or green onions.
- Serve immediately, or refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour for the flavors to meld and the salad to chill.
Notes
- Let rotisserie chicken cool before mixing with other ingredients.
- Scoop out cucumber seeds before chopping to keep the salad from becoming watery. To remove even more moisture dab cucumber with paper towels.
- If using dried dill, use ⅓ of the amount listed and adjust to taste from there.
