Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or chopped

1 cup Greek yogurt (plain, preferably non-fat or low-fat)

1/4 cup mayonnaise (optional for added creaminess)

1/2 cup cucumber, finely diced

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

1/4 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced

1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled

1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)

1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil (optional for added richness)

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded or chopped cooked chicken and Greek yogurt. If you're using mayonnaise, add it at this point for extra creaminess.

    Add the diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, red onion, Kalamata olives, and crumbled feta cheese to the chicken mixture.

      Sprinkle in the chopped dill, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

        If desired, drizzle olive oil over the mixture for additional flavor and richness.

          Gently mix all the ingredients using a spatula until well combined. Ensure the chicken and vegetables are evenly coated with the yogurt dressing.

            Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary—add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice according to your preference.

              For best flavor, refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

                Serve chilled on a bed of greens, in a pita, or on whole-grain bread for a delicious sandwich.
