Tzatziki Chicken Salad

Healthy Fact of the Day

Greek yogurt provides probiotics for digestive health and more protein than regular yogurt. Cucumbers are hydrating and low in calories while adding refreshing crunch and vitamins K and C.

This Tzatziki Chicken Salad brings the fresh, vibrant flavors of the Mediterranean to your table with perfectly grilled chicken and a cool, creamy tzatziki sauce made from scratch. The combination of tender, herb-seasoned chicken with crisp greens and that refreshing cucumber-dill yogurt sauce creates a light yet satisfying meal that’s perfect for warm days or when you’re craving something fresh and healthy.

If you love these bright Mediterranean flavors, you’ll also enjoy our Mediterranean Steak Bowl with its similar fresh herbs and vibrant presentation. For another Greek-inspired dish that brings bold flavors to your table, try our Baked Feta Potatoes. They capture that same Mediterranean spirit with creamy feta and fresh herbs that complement this refreshing salad beautifully.

    • 2 tablespoons olive oil

    • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

    • 1 lemon, juiced

    • 1 cup Greek yogurt

    Tip of the Day

    “Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

    Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

    The Vinegar Shelf: Why the Most Overlooked Ingredient in Your Pantry Deserves More Attention

    Apple cider vinegar — particularly raw, unfiltered versions containing the “mother” of fermentation — contains acetic acid, enzymes, and beneficial bacteria that have demonstrated modest but genuine effects on blood sugar regulation in clinical research. Several studies have found that consuming vinegar before or with a meal reduces postprandial blood glucose and insulin response, with effects that are meaningful for people managing blood sugar levels. The mechanism appears to involve acetic acid’s inhibition of starch-digesting enzymes, slowing the absorption of carbohydrates. While the health claims surrounding apple cider vinegar are often overstated in popular culture, the specific blood sugar modulation effect has genuine clinical support — making the vinegar used in cooking a functional ingredient as well as a flavor one.

Tomato paste is one of the richest dietary sources of lycopene available, a powerful antioxidant linked to heart health—meaning the tomato-forward filling is doing more nutritional work than it gets credit for.

    Publix Is Recalling Frozen Blueberries in 8 States After 12 Confirmed E. Coli Cases

    Frozen fruits are one of the most nutritious and convenient pantry staples — but this recall is a reminder that frozen doesn’t mean sterile. E. coli and other pathogens can survive freezing, which is why cooking or heating frozen produce doesn’t always eliminate the risk from a contaminated batch. When buying frozen berries, checking the lot code at home and registering your email with the FDA’s recall alert system at fda.gov are simple habits that can help you catch issues like this one before the berries make it into your smoothie. If you’re in one of the eight affected states and shop at Publix, check your freezer today.
