Print Recipe

A delightful salad that combines vibrant street corn flavors with refreshing cucumbers and tender chicken, perfect for summer gatherings.

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. Prep the chicken: If you’re using grilled chicken from scratch, season it with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika before grilling. If using rotisserie chicken, shred it into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Prepare the corn: If grilling fresh corn, shuck and grill for 10-12 minutes. If using canned corn, drain and rinse it.
  3. Chop the vegetables: Dice the cucumber and finely chop the red onion. Soak onions if desired.
  4. Mix the dressing: In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lime juice, cilantro, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well.
  5. Combine everything: Add chicken, corn, cucumber, and onion to the dressing. Gently fold to coat.
  6. Taste and adjust: Taste the salad and adjust seasoning with lime juice, salt, or pepper as needed.
  7. Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

For best results, avoid adding cucumbers until ready to serve to maintain their crunch. This salad pairs well with pita bread or grilled meats.
