This recipe was delicious. If you like tzatziki, the combination of the cucumbers, dill, yogurt, lemon juice, and olive oil is essentially just unmixed tzatziki. The whole thing was so simple to make and tasted so good. If the chicken was grilled ahead of time, it would be the ultimate of a simple meal for a weeknight.
* I altered this just a little to work with things I had. I only made a 3rd of the dressing (I was cooking only for me). I used chicken I had grilled rather than a rotisserie chicken. I left out the onion but added tomato instead. And last but not least, I didn't use fresh dill. I wish I had fresh dill in my garden, but I don't. I just wasn't willing to go to the store for it.
