Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 cups grilled or roasted chicken
- 1 cup sweet corn
- 1 large cucumber
- 1/2 cup red onion
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon cilantro
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Crumbled feta cheese for garnish
Instructions
- Start by gathering all the ingredients. If you are using grilled chicken, dice it into small pieces. If you prefer, roasted chicken will work just as well. Ensure the corn is either freshly grilled or canned; both options yield great flavors.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced chicken, sweet corn, chopped cucumber, and finely minced red onion. Mix these ingredients thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of flavors.
- Now, prepare the dressing. In a smaller bowl, combine mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lime juice, chopped cilantro, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk these until smooth, creating a luscious dressing that ties the salad together. Pour the dressing over the salad mixture, and gently fold it in until everything is well coated. If desired, top with crumbled feta cheese to add extra flavor and texture. Serve immediately or refrigerate for about 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Notes
Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. You can swap Greek yogurt with sour cream if desired. Refrigerating the salad for at least 30 minutes will intensify the flavor.
