4. Taste and adjust:

   • Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning by adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed.

5. Serve:

   • Serve the Tzatziki Chicken Salad as is, or use it as a filling for pita bread, wraps, or lettuce cups. It also makes a great side dish or can be enjoyed on top of a bed of greens.
