- In a large mixing bowl, add the shredded chicken, tzatziki sauce, red onion, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, dill, and mint.
- Stir gently until everything is evenly coated in the sauce.

- Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors blend.
- Serve in pita bread, lettuce wraps, or over a bed of greens.

Notes
- Use well-seasoned chicken: Leftover roasted or rotisserie chicken adds the most flavor without extra prep.
- Dice vegetables evenly: Cutting the cucumber, onion, and tomatoes into similar-sized pieces helps the salad mix evenly.
- Chill before serving: Letting the salad rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes helps the flavors blend.
- Adjust to taste: Add extra dill, mint, or a pinch of salt if needed after mixing.
- Drain excess moisture: If your cucumber or tomatoes are very juicy, pat them dry to keep the salad from becoming watery.
- Serving Suggestions: We love serving this chicken salad with Sourdough Flatbread or on Greek Chicken Gyros.
