Leftover Chicken Gyro Salad

This quick salad is one of my favorite ways to use up leftover chicken gyro meat. It comes together in about 10 minutes and makes a fresh, filling lunch or easy weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups chopped romaine lettuce
  • 1 cup baby spinach
  • 1 cup leftover chicken gyro meat
  • ½ cucumber, sliced
  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ¼ small red onion, thinly sliced
  • ½ bell pepper, sliced
  • Tzatziki sauce or Greek dressing

Instructions

  1. Divide the romaine and spinach between two bowls.
  2. Top with the cucumber, tomatoes, onion, and bell pepper.
  3. Warm the leftover gyro meat for 30–60 seconds if desired and divide between the salads.
  4. Drizzle with tzatziki or Greek dressing and serve.

Optional Toppings

  • Crumbled feta
  • Kalamata olives
  • Pepperoncini
  • Homemade pita chips for a little crunch

This is one of those “clean out the fridge” meals that tastes just as good as the original gyros with almost no effort.
