Ingredients | Souvlaki Greek Salad

1 cup diced English cucumbers

1 ¼ teaspoons salt, divided

2 tablespoons diced red onion

1 cup Greek yogurt

⅓ cup chopped Kalamata olives

1 ½ tablespoons chopped fresh dill

2 teaspoons red wine vinegar

2 teaspoons lemon juice

1 teaspoon garlic, minced

1 teaspoon lemon zest

½ teaspoon dried oregano

¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

3 cups diced cooked chicken

¾ cup crumbled feta cheese

½ cup diced seeded plum tomatoes

1 head Bibb lettuce, or more as needed

Directions

Place cucumbers in a colander; set onto a plate. Toss cucumbers with 1 teaspoon salt. Let rest to draw about liquid, about 30 minutes. Pat dry with paper towels.

Place red onion and 1 cup cold water in a bowl. Let soak until the strong onion flavor is weakened, 5 to 10 minutes. Drain and rinse.

Combine cucumbers, red onions, Greek yogurt, Kalamata olives, dill, vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, lemon zest, oregano, and black pepper in a bowl. Fold in chicken, feta cheese, and tomatoes. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate salad for at least 1 hour.

Stir salad and serve on lettuce leaves.

Crackers can be used in place of the lettuce.
