Greek Chicken Salad with Pita Croutons and Tzatziki Dressing

Step 1

Prepare chicken according to recipe directions.

Step 2

Add chopped cucumbers to a fine mesh sieve and sprinkle with ½ teaspoon salt. Stir and let sit 15-20 minutes (this prevents the dressing from becoming watery). After 15/20 minutes, use the back of a spoon to push cucumber down against sieve to release excess water.

Step 3

Add cucumber along with all remaining Tzatziki Dressing ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste if needed. Refrigerate until ready to serve - best if chilled at least 1 hour, the longer the better.

Step 4

Preheat oven to 400F degrees. Add pita squares to a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt, paprika and garlic powder. Toss until evenly coated then spread into an even layer on baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden.

Step 5

Add romaine, cucumber, bell peppers, tomatoes olives, and onions to a large salad bowl and give it a good toss. Now you can either toss in the chicken, dressing, croutons and feta, OR if expecting leftovers, serve them on the side and let everyone dress their own salads. Enjoy!
