Start spring off right with a salad that couldn't taste more fresh

Tzatziki Chicken Salad With Avocado and Pita Chips A delightful, light salad with lots of fresh flavor
Ingredients:
-2/3 cup 2% reduced-fat Greek yogurt
-1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
-1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
-2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill
-1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
-1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
-1 cucumber, seeded and shredded
-1 garlic clove, minced
-2 cups shredded, skinless, boneless chicken breast
-3 ounces multigrain pita chips
Directions:
-Cook chicken as desired.
-Combine first 8 ingredients in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk.
-Add chicken, toss to coat.
-Serve on top of spinach, with avocado. Serve with pita chips. Yields 4 servings.
Notes: The original recipe calls for rotisserie chicken breast. I just cooked a chicken breast on the stovetop. I cut it into little bits, coated it with dried dill, oregano and italian seasoning, and cooked until done.
Cheers! Obviously, a delicious white wine would go well with this one. How 'bout a Barefoot Sauvignon Blanc?
