Method

  1. Prepare the creamy dill sauce: in a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, garlic paste, Dijon mustard, dill, salt, black pepper, and, if desired, a splash of lemon juice until smooth.

  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped lettuce, diced cucumber, and thinly sliced red onion.

  3. Add the frozen chicken strips (pre‑cooked or thawed) and the air‑fried crispy pasta to the bowl with the vegetables.

  4. Pour the prepared dill sauce over the salad and toss gently until every piece is evenly coated.

  5. Serve the salad immediately, dividing it between two plates.
