Spinach Salad with Tzatziki Chicken

A spin off my chic pea salad, I made this one a bit more summery with dill and chives instead of the powerful rosemary in the original.

Baby Spinach
Chicken Tenders

Tzatziki Sauce
1/2 Hot House Cucumber, grated
1 C Greek yogurt
1/2 c sour cream
1/4 tsp chopped garlic
1 T freshly chopped dill
1 T freshly chopped chives
salt and pepper to taste

Relish
1/2 Hot House Cucumber, chopped
1/2 pint heirloom cherry tomatoes, halved
2 oz feta cheese, crumbled
1 can garbanzo beans, drained
1 T freshly chopped dill
1 T freshly chopped chives
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste

Combine all of the ingredients for the relish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

In a freezer bag, marinate the chicken tenders in 3/4 c of the sauce for at least 2 hours.
Remove from the marinade and grill for 2-3 minutes per side. Slice and serve.

Build the salad with the baby spinach first, then the relish, then the sliced chicken.
Top with the sauce as desired.
