Is gyro meat healthy?

Gyro meat is flavorful and protein-packed, but it can be high in fat depending on how it’s made. You can balance it out with plenty of veggies in the salad.

Can I make this salad ahead of time?

Yes! Prep the veggies and protein in advance, but keep the tzatziki and toppings separate until you’re ready to serve. This keeps everything fresh.

Where can I buy gyro meat?

Most grocery stores with a decent international or frozen foods section will carry pre-made gyro meat. You can also check specialty Mediterranean markets.

What can I use instead of tzatziki?

If you’re not a fan of tzatziki, try a garlic yogurt dressing or even a simple vinaigrette with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and oregano.
