  • Directions

    Spread several layers of paper towels on a clean work surface. Spread grated cucumber on the paper towels, and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Allow to stand about 10 minutes.

    Roll up cucumber inside the paper towels, like a jelly roll. Squeeze tightly to remove as much liquid as possible. Discard liquid.

    Place cucumber shreds in a large mixing bowl, and add garlic, red wine vinegar, and olive oil.  Stir, blending well.

    Add Greek yogurt, black pepper, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and fresh dill.  Stir until ingredients are well blended and refrigerate until ready to serve.

    To assemble the bowls, place 1 1/2 cups thinly sliced Romaine in each serving bowl. Add 1/2 cup cooked chicken, 6 cherry tomatoes, 1/4 cup kalamata olives, 1/4 chopped bell pepper, and 1 thin slice red onion to each bowl.

    Top with each bowl with 1 tablespoon crumbled feta, or more, if desired. Add 1 peperoncini for garnish.

    Stir tzatziki, taste, and adjust seasoning, if needed. Add enough olive oil to create a pourable sauce; pour over each bowl. Serve each bowl with 2 or 3 tablespoons tzatziki, or to taste. Store any unused tzatziki in a sealed container in the refrigerator, 2 to 3 days.
