Layered gyros salad – notes
Gyros salad with chicken and Chinese cabbage is a very simple and tasty salad perfect for all occasions.
It most often appears around New Year’s when there’s a bit more “partying” :)
It makes a big bowl, so there’s plenty to share!
Ingredients for gyros salad?
I’ve seen different versions of this salad, but I’ll show you how I’ve been making it for years.
You will need canned corn (large package), pickled cucumbers (can be homemade or store-bought), onion (can be regular white or red), Chinese cabbage, and chicken breasts. Plus mayonnaise, ketchup, and gyros spice.
If you want to vary the taste of the salad, you can also use garlic sauce instead of mayonnaise.
How to make gyros salad – tips
Nothing simpler!
Dice the chicken breasts, season them, and fry them in a hot pan with oil. Fry the meat until it’s nicely golden and well-cooked (not raw). Then remove the chicken from the pan and let it cool.
Dice the vegetables and arrange them in layers in a large bowl.
Apply ketchup and mayonnaise between the layers of vegetables and meat.
What mayonnaise for gyros salad?
Of course, use your favorite mayonnaise here :)
But if you want to slightly reduce the calorie content of the gyros salad, you can use light mayonnaise, or mix mayonnaise with thick Greek yogurt – the salad will taste just as good, but will be lighter :)
How to serve gyros salad?
Prepare the salad directly in a large glass bowl and serve the gyros salad in it on the table.
Sprinkle the top of the gyros salad with shredded Chinese cabbage and finally sprinkle the whole thing with gyros spice.
Do not mix!
Everything mixes together only when serving onto a plate.
To highlight the beauty of this salad, it’s worth placing it in a large glass bowl. Then all its layers will be beautifully visible, not just the Chinese cabbage from above :)
How to vary the taste of gyros salad?
Also remember that you can add your own individual ingredients here – many people like to add chopped sweet bell pepper to gyros salad – I don’t like it, so I don’t add it, but I won’t stop you.
You can swap white onion for red onion; it will look nice in the salad and add more sharpness.
If you don’t like pickled cucumbers, you can swap them for dill pickles :)
How to store gyros salad?
Thanks to layering the ingredients, gyros salad doesn’t get watery easily and can therefore last longer. Using Chinese cabbage instead of lettuce also helps keep the ingredients fresh.
Layered gyros salad can last a long time – store it in the refrigerator. But if left on a party table, it can stay all evening and nothing bad will happen to it.
Before putting the salad in the refrigerator, you can cover it with cling film.

Gyros salad with chicken recipe
Gyros salad is a very popular layered salad ideal for parties and various celebrations. It is called a layered salad due to its preparation method. All ingredients are arranged in even layers in a bowl - without mixing. Sauces are applied in the same way - without mixing them with vegetables beforehand. The layered arrangement of ingredients ensures that the gyros salad does not get watery and can last a long time. Various ingredients can be used for its preparation, but most often, chicken pieces fried in gyros spice, corn, onion, and pickled cucumbers are used. The top of the gyros salad is sprinkled with chopped Chinese cabbage and finally dusted with powdered gyros spice (hence the name of the salad). The layered salad is best prepared in a large transparent salad bowl. Transparent glass will show all the layers of the layered salad - making it also a table decoration. No one will say "no" to such a gyros salad! I know what I'm talking about. I make gyros salads for various parties, and they usually disappear first.
