Gyro Salad with Tzatziki Sauce
Gyro Salad with Tzatziki takes just 10 minutes to make and is loaded with tomatoes, cucumber, gyro sliders, red onion, feta cheese and is topped with homemade tzatziki sauce.
Anything that is Greek-style always appeals to me. Whether it is a big Greek salad, lemon rice soup, spinach pie or a Greek pita wrap, my eyes always perk up when I see Greek food on a menu. My husband loves gyros so much so I decided to make us a loaded gyro salad. It is full of flavor and so delicious- especially for summer but it would be great year-round as well.
We recently went to an outdoor concert with my mom who made these awesome Greek chicken skewers with homemade tzatziki sauce. I knew that I wanted to make tzatziki for my dressing for this salad as soon as I tried hers because it was so good. I called her for a little help for the recipe. It's always great having your mom just a phone call away.
The best part about this recipe? No cooking required! Just a little use of the microwave and lunch or dinner will be ready in no time at all! You could use grilled chicken in this recipe if you do not eat beef. Of course, you could go with traditional lamb too. I loaded this salad up with a bunch of vegetables for a complete meal that is healthy and delicious! Hope you enjoy.

For the gyro, I kept things really simple and chopped up a Sandwich Bros. of Wisconsin Gyro Slider which features a beef hamburger with herbed yogurt cheese in a pita. I just heated it up and chopped it into bite sized pieces for a simple addition of protein. These come in a few snack varieties including the Angus Cheeseburgers, Chicken Melts and Pizza Melts.
