Grilled Chicken Souvlaki Salad with Creamy Feta and Dill Dressing

[heart_this] · Jul 29, 2015 · 28 Comments

Grilled Chicken Souvlaki Salad with Creamy Feta and Dill Dressing

A chicken souvlaki salad packed with Mediterranean flavours and a tzatziki dressing that makes a perfect light summer meal.

Not too long ago I was making one of my favourite summer salads, this grilled chicken souvlaki salad, and I figured that I would take the opportunity to update the photos for the recipe which I originally posted back in 2012! It’s really hard to beat a salad with grilled meat for a nice, tasty and light summer meal, especially when that grilled meat is chicken souvlaki with its summery lemon, garlic and oregano flavours! This salad is super easy to make where you just need to marinate the chicken in it’s simple marinade, skewer it up, grill it, serve it over a tasty greek style salad and top it all off with a tasty dressing! For the dressing I sometimes go with a tzatziki sauce but more often these days I have been enjoying a creamy feta and dill dressing which is just perfect for this salad! Everything in this salad works so well together from the juicy tomatoes to the crunchy cucumbers, salty olives, tangy onions, creamy dressing and of course the grilled chicken souvlaki! If you are looking for a nice, light and tasty meal this summer, look no further than this grilled chicken souvlaki salad with creamy feta and dill dressing!

    Is the 1/4 cup of dressing for all 4 servings? So each salad only gets a tablespoon of dressing?

    July 29, 2015 at 10:50 pm

    Sarah W: Yes. I try to limit dressings to 1 tablespoon per serving of salad. If you prefer more, go right ahead and add more!

    Just made this as a wrap w tzatziki sauce and WOW was it delicious!!!! Marinated the chicken for a full 24 hours sort of by accident, and it was good enough to eat right off the skewer!! So much flavor!! My husband and I had to restrain ourselves so we could actually make the wraps!

    This is the fifth recipe I've tried from this site and everything I've made so far has been AWESOME. Thanks for the great meal ideas!

    Just want to extend my heartfelt personal gratitude for the multitude of recipes I have saved from your website. I am an empty nester who cooked for a family for so long I that I really couldn’t remember how to cook “small” if you will. You are so thoughtful with your photos, instructions and depth of recipes that you are truly one of my favorites to pin. I look forward to your emails and recipes. My hats off to you! BTW cannot wait to make this chicken dish over the weekend for my friends at the Jersey Shore, yay summer

    I love Summer Salad and love your great cuisine. I used to make a similar salad with grilled chicken or shrimps and served with pita. This looks a wonderful meal with plenty of dressing and just delish and right for the warm weather. Thanks Kevin.
