  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 large cucumber (very thinly sliced)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese (crumbled)
  • 1/4 cup pickled red onions
  • 1.5 cups chicken (cooked and shredded)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup fresh dill (chopped)
  • 4 slices toasted sourdough (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Trader Joe’s black garlic (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the very thinly sliced cucumber, olive oil, crumbled feta cheese, pickled red onions, shredded cooked chicken, lemon juice, kosher salt, black pepper, and chopped fresh dill.
  2. Toss Salad: Gently toss all the ingredients together until well combined, ensuring the dressing evenly coats the salad for balanced flavors.
  3. Serve: Divide the salad into serving bowls or place it over toasted sourdough slices if desired. Optionally, sprinkle with Trader Joe’s black garlic for an extra burst of flavor. Enjoy immediately for the freshest taste.

Notes

  • Make sure the cucumber is sliced very thinly for the best texture.
  • Use cooked chicken—rotisserie chicken or leftover grilled chicken works well.
  • Pickled red onions add a tangy contrast but can be omitted if unavailable.
  • Feta cheese can be substituted with goat cheese if preferred.
  • For a gluten-free option, skip the sourdough or use gluten-free bread.
  • Black garlic adds umami but is optional, can be omitted.
