Ingredients
  

For the Salad
  • 2 cups Grilled or Roasted Chicken Use rotisserie chicken for added convenience and richness in flavor.
  • 1 cup Sweet Corn Opt for fresh grilled corn or canned for natural sweetness; just ensure it’s well-drained.
  • 1 large Cucumber Select English cucumbers for an extra-crunchy texture and fewer seeds.
  • 0.5 cup Red Onion Finely chopped; substitute with green onions for a milder flavor.
  • 0.5 cup Mayonnaise The creamy base for your salad; Greek yogurt works well for a lighter option.
  • 2 tablespoons Greek Yogurt Introduces tanginess; or swap with sour cream to maintain creaminess.
  • 1 tablespoon Lime Juice Brightens the overall flavor; lemon juice can be a suitable alternative.

  • 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika Imparts a lovely smoky essence; regular paprika can be used if preferred.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Essential for enhancing the salad’s flavor profile.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by gathering all your fresh ingredients for the Street Corn Creamy Cucumber Chicken Salad. Dice 2 cups of grilled or roasted chicken into bite-sized pieces, and peel and chop 1 large cucumber, ensuring to remove any seeds.
  2. In the same mixing bowl, add 1 cup of sweet corn—use grilled corn for a smoky flavor or canned corn if you’re short on time. Next, incorporate ½ cup of mayonnaise and 2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt to create a creamy base. Follow this by mixing in 1 tablespoon of lime juice, the chopped cilantro, and 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika. Season with 1 teaspoon of salt and ½ teaspoon of black pepper for a burst of flavor.
  3. Using a large spoon, gently fold all the ingredients together in the bowl until everything is well combined and coated with the creamy mixture.
  4. Once the salad is fully mixed, cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the salad to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
  5. After the chilling period, remove the salad from the refrigerator. If desired, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top for added creaminess and a salty kick. Serve your Street Corn Creamy Cucumber Chicken Salad chilled on a platter.
