Chicken Quinoa Mediterranean Salad with Tzatziki Dressing

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

This dreamy Chicken Quinoa Mediterranean Salad with Tzatziki Dressing has so many of my favorite things…no wonder it’s my new favorite salad!

Confession #83 – Even though this salad is insanely delicious, it’s the homemade tzatziki dressing that I dream about.

21 Day Fix Mediterranean Tabouli

I could eat it all day.  By itself.  With a spoon, maybe…or I might just drink it right from the blender.

I’m not above that at all.  And I’m okay admitting it.

What’s even better?  It’s basically just plain Greek yogurt cucumber, fresh dill and lemon, so there are far worse things I could be drinking.  Am I right?

Tzatziki

I wasn’t sure how the flavors of the dressing would be with the salad, which is essentially a take on tabouli,  but they go together perfectly and I was instantly transported to my favorite Mediterranean restaurant from our old neighborhood in Philly.

Tabouli Salad

This salad is reason #953 to prep grilled chicken and quinoa for use throughout the week.   By doing so, you can get dinner on the table in minutes without turning on your stove, oven, or grill.   Just some chopping and blending and you are good to go.

For all of you who would rather assemble your meals instead of cook them, this one is for you!

    Hey Nancylynn! Quick question- in the pics you have red onion, but I don’t see it in the list of ingredients. How much do you add?

    • Nancylynn says

      June 15, 2017 at 8:47 pm

      Ooops! I need to fix that! I just put a couple of tablespoons of diced red onion into the salad!

    This looks delicious! Just a quick question–you say 10 olives per serving. So just to clarify, this means I would need 40 olives in total for the entire recipe? Thanks so much!

    I wanted to try doing these in mason jars for the week. What order of ingredients do you think I should do? Do you think it would hold up?

      Hi!

      YES – this is a super genius idea!

      I would layer in this order: dressing, olives, veggies, quinoa, chicken, cheese, greens! Let me know how it goes!!
