Whole30 Greek Chicken Salad

July 25, 2018 By Taesha Butler Leave a Comment

Whole30 Greek Chicken Salad is a flavorful twist on a traditional dish that we all know and love. Perfect for lunch or dinner, this dish has maximum taste and texture, but without a lot of work. Dairy-free, Paleo, Whole30 compliant, it is a satisfying meal that you will find yourself making over and over.

You guys always ask me where I get my recipe ideas….and today, I can tell you that this recipe was inspired by Mother Nature. Specifically, her decision to bless San Diego with a heatwave that seems to be going on and on. And on. And on….

 I don’t want to go outside. I won’t want move off of my couch. And I most definitely DO NOT want to turn on my oven or stove to cook something. Nopenopenopenope.

So, my temporary breakup with my oven has forced me to get a bit creative come mealtime. Hence the birth of Whole30 Greek Chicken Salad.

My husband has always been a big fan of Greek flavors. He loves falafels and “tzatziki” might as well be his middle name. My Sheet-Pan Greek Chicken and Veggies is one of his favorite TNN meals, which (after Mother Nature) sparked the idea of a Greek-style chicken salad.

I skipped the mayo for super simple (and yummy) tzatziki sauce and added in all all kinds of delicious veggie goodness to flavor this twist on a classic recipe. Whole30 Greek Chicken Salad  may have been inspired by the heat of summer, but it is going to a year-round recipe in the tNN house.
