Print Recipe

A creamy, vibrant salad bursting with flavors that perfectly balances comfort and freshness, made with grilled chicken, sweet corn, and refreshing cucumber.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups grilled or roasted chicken, diced
  • 1 cup sweet corn, grilled or canned
  • 1 large cucumber, diced
  • ½ cup red onion, finely chopped
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: crumbled feta cheese for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the chicken: Season it with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika, then grill or roast until fully cooked (about 6-7 minutes per side). Let it rest, then dice.
  2. Prepare the corn: If using fresh corn, slice kernels off the cob and grill until slightly charred (about 5 minutes). If using canned corn, drain and rinse.
  3. Chop your veggies: Dice cucumber and finely chop red onion, soaking the onion in cold water to mellow its flavor if needed.
  4. Mix the dressing: Combine mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lime juice, cilantro, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl, whisking until smooth.
  5. Combine ingredients: In a large bowl, add chicken, corn, cucumber, and onion. Pour dressing over and mix gently.
  6. Chill before serving: Refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour to let flavors develop.
  7. Final touches: Stir the salad, transfer to a platter, and garnish with feta if desired.
