- 1 cup cucumber diced
Creamy Dressing
- 1 2 cup Greek yogurt plain
- 1 tbsp olive oil extra virgin

Instructions
- Cook or warm the chicken until tender and juicy. Chop the vegetables into bite sized pieces for easy assembly.
- Whisk Greek yogurt, olive oil, and lemon juice until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Divide lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, and chicken among containers. Keep dressing separate for the crispest texture.
