- Grilled chicken (marinated with olive oil, garlic, lemon, and herbs like oregano)
- Base: rice, quinoa, or even greens
- Fresh vegetables: cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, lettuce
- Extras: olives, chickpeas, feta cheese
- Sauce: tzatziki (yogurt, cucumber, garlic, dill, lemon)

Bright and zesty from lemon, savory from the chicken, creamy and cooling from the tzatziki, with a nice crunch from fresh veggies.
