Ingredients
  

For the Salad
  • 2 cups Grilled or Roasted Chicken Provides protein; rotisserie chicken is a great shortcut.
  • 1 cup Sweet Corn Using canned corn (well-drained) saves time.
  • 1 large Cucumber, diced English cucumbers are preferred.
  • ½ cup Red Onion, finely chopped Substitute with green onions for milder taste.
For the Dressing
  • ½ cup Mayonnaise Acts as the creamy base; Greek yogurt can replace it.
  • 2 tablespoons Greek Yogurt Adds creaminess; can be swapped with sour cream.
  • 1 tablespoon Lime Juice Substitute with lemon juice if desired.
  • 1 tablespoon Cilantro, chopped Parsley works as a substitute.
  • 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika Use regular paprika for a milder flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt, to taste
  • ½ teaspoon Black Pepper Freshly cracked is best.
Optional Garnish
  • Crumbled Feta Cheese Adds a salty touch and creaminess.
