Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 2 cups Grilled or Roasted Chicken provides protein and bulk; rotisserie chicken is a convenient substitute
For the Salad
  • 1 cup Sweet Corn adds natural sweetness; use grilled corn for a smoky twist or canned corn for ease
  • 1 large Cucumber diced, contributes a refreshing crunch; add just before serving to keep crisp
  • 0.5 cup Red Onion finely chopped, offers mild sharpness; green onions can be used for a milder flavor
For the Dressing
  • 0.5 cup Mayonnaise forms the creamy base; Greek yogurt makes a lighter alternative
  • 2 tablespoons Greek Yogurt enhances creaminess and adds tang; can replace mayonnaise for a lighter touch
  • 1 tablespoon Lime Juice provides zesty brightness; substitute with lemon juice if needed
  • 1 tablespoon Cilantro chopped, adds fresh herbal notes; feel free to skip if it’s not preferred
  • 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika imparts a rich smoky flavor; regular paprika can be used if needed
  • 1 teaspoon Salt to taste, enhances overall flavor; adjust according to preference
  • 0.5 teaspoon Black Pepper adds mild heat; tailored to taste
For Garnish
  • Feta Cheese optional, adds creaminess and a salty kick; sprinkle on top for a special touch
