How to make them
For this recipe, we borrowed the seasoning from the Low Carb Cheesy Chicken & Rice recipe, and use my favorite Super Speedy Tzatziki Sauce.
- Mix up the tzatziki sauce
- Chop up your tomatoes, cucumber, onions and peppers, crumble up some feta cheese
- Stir together the chicken seasoning, toss chicken in the spices, then cook up for 7 or so minutes
- Assemble your bowls!
Recipe FAQ
Absolutely, you can use my Classic Greek Salad Dressing instead (keep it separate from the salad in condiment containers
until just before you serve).
Yes, leave out the pita and you are set!
I find that scooping the seeds out makes them last a lot longer. They will be slightly dry by day 4 but still crunchy.
Variations
- Vegetarian – Replace the chicken with chickpeas, grilled halloumi, or marinated tofu for a meat-free twist.
- Grain-Based – Try farro, bulgur, or couscous added texture and a Mediterranean feel.
- Spicy Kick – Add harissa, red pepper flakes, or spicy tzatziki for an extra burst of heat.
- Extra Crunch – Toss in cucumber, bell peppers, or roasted chickpeas for a fresh, crunchy texture.
- Dairy-Free – Skip the feta and drizzle with extra olive oil or a tahini-lemon dressing for a creamy finish.
- Wrap It Up – Turn it into a Greek chicken wrap with a whole wheat pita or low-carb tortilla for an on-the-go meal!

Denise, I'll be very happy to treat you to a Greek salad if you ever manage to pass by Athens!! We're all super kid-friendly and would love to have you!! Thanks for all the recipes <3

I doubled the recipe to make lunches for my 2 daughters and my husband and I for a few days. Instead of assembling beforehand, I chopped everything and stored in separate containers and put it out for DIY Greek salad lunches (since inevitably everyone likes and dislikes different ingredients in their salad 😡). Also I let them choose between a homemade ranch or a homemade Greek vinaigrette since i was out of plain yogurt! Thanks for the great ideas!
Denise says
So happy you and your family enjoyed! What a great idea for a little assembly line 🙂
