About this recipe
Layered gyros salad is a party appetizer made with chicken, iceberg lettuce, vegetables, corn, and a yogurt-mayonnaise dressing. This simple salad can be served in a large bowl or individual glasses and is ideal for house parties, holidays, and gatherings with friends. It tastes best after a brief chill, when the layers have had time to meld slightly but still retain their freshness and distinct textures.
Ingredients
Chicken
500 g chicken breast
2 tablespoons cooking oil
2 teaspoons gyros seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

200 g thick plain yogurt
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 clove garlic
