Seriously guys, my only mistake was not doubling up on all of these ingredients so we could have more! So don't make my mistake ;)

Mediterranean Chicken Salad
Recipe by: Krysten Jorgensen

Ingredients:

1/2 cup Chicken (cooked and shredded)
2 tbsp Cucumber (chopped)
2 Cherry tomatoes (chopped)
3 Kalamata Olives (chopped)
2-3 tbsp Tzatziki * (recipe below)
1/2 tsp Dill & Parsley (fresh, chopped)
1/2 tsp Parsley (fresh, chopped)
1.5 tbsp Red onion (chopped)
Pinch of salt and black pepper (to taste)
1-2 tbsp Feta (I like using fresh feta then crumbling it on top, but you can mix it in as well- optional)*

Directions:
1. Mix everything together in a bowl. Add in more Tzatziki depending on how you prefer your chicken salad. As you know, I always like a lot of sauce soooo I added 3 tbsp but start with 2 first to see how you prefer. Enjoy y’all!

Tzatziki:

Ingredients:

3/4 cup Greek yogurt (dairy free or regular)
1/2 English cucumber (grated and strained)
1 tbsp lemon juice
Salt and pepper (to taste)
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1.5 tbsp fresh dill *(sub dried, only if you have to.)

Directions:
1. Stir all ingredients together in a small bowl. And enjoy!

-and as you can see I put these in lettuce cups topped with feta, but don’t stop there- this can be use in a sandwich, with pita crackers/regular crackers or served with some cucumbers and celery sticks. Whatever way you choose, it’s gonna be good!

*For my vegan and dairy free friends!*

Here are your subs for this to make this vegan and dairy free!

*Sub chicken for shredded jackfruit or smashed chickpeas
*Sub Greek yogurt in the Tzatziki for an unsweetened, thick Greek style dairy free/ vegan yogurt
*Sub feta cheese for a vegan alternative

I hope yall enjoy!

Taco Tuesday-ing it with this Chicken Satay Taco w/ Peanut Sauce
The flavors of this come together in the most beautiful way. Y’all seriouslyyyyy have to try it! I also included my Tofu Satay recipe below for my vegan friends out there !
All of this goodness was wrapped up in a tortilla! But another option down below is in a lettuce taco- both so good!

Full details of the taco: chicken satay, purple cabbage, chopped peanuts, scallions, peanut sauce, bell pepper, carrots and cilantro.

Chicken Satay:

1 pound chicken
3 tbsp coconut milk
1 tsp turmeric
2 tbsp @Lakanto golden monkfruit (or coconut sugar)
Pinch of chili powder
1 tbsp oil
1/8 tsp coriander
1/8 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp onion powder
1/8 tsp salt

Directions:

Cut chicken into strips.
In a bowl stir all of the other ingredients together.
Place the strips in the bowl and toss around in the marinade until coated. Marinate for a minimum of 30 minutes. *You can go for longer.
Grill or sauté the chicken in avocado oil, until they are completely cooked through, I used a thermometer.

Peanut sauce:

1/2 cup peanut butter
1-2 tbsp chili paste
1 tsp rice vinegar
2 tbsp sesame oil
4 tbsp tamari
1 tbsp golden monkfruit (or coconut sugar)
2 tbsp lime juice
1 garlic clove
1/4 tsp ginger powder
Pinch of Black pepper
1/4 cup green onion
4-6 tbsp cilantro
4-6 tbsp water (added in slowly)

Directions:
1. Blend everything together until completely combined and until desired creamy consistency. I like mine silky smooth so I blend for a longer time.
