Tzatziki chicken salad is the perfect make-ahead cold lunch recipe. Shredded rotisserie chicken is topped with a tangy tzatziki sauce that's filled with fresh flavors from cucumber, dill, and Greek yogurt.
Wrap grated cucumber in a paper towel (or a tea towel) and gently squeeze to remove excess moisture. Add grated cucumber to a bowl along with Greek yogurt, dill, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
Shred rotisserie chicken into small, bite size pieces and add to your prepared sauce along with red onions. Toss until evenly coated.
Serve on pita bread with fresh sliced tomato and red onion, on crackers, with pita chips, or over a bed of lettuce. Refrigerate leftovers.

Notes
Chicken salad will keep for 3-5 days in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator.
Chicken salad that has been sitting out for more than 2 hours at room temperature should be discarded.
Rotisserie chicken can be substituted with 16 ounces of seasoned, cooked, and shredded chicken, or canned chicken.
2 tablespoons of fresh dill can be substituted with ⅔ teaspoon of dried dill if needed (fresh herbs will add the best flavor).
