Mediterranean Taco Salad

Deliver an impressive twist on a typical taco salad by swapping a few of the usual ingredients for their Mediterranean cousins. Here, feta stands in for cheddar, chickpeas replace beans, and tzatziki provides the familiar creaminess usually associated with sour cream. Top with shredded rotisserie chicken and crisp pita crackers for a no-cook meal the whole family will love.
