Ingredients

Scale

For the Salad:
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup sweet corn, grilled or canned
- 1 large cucumber, diced
- 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
For the Dressing:
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, sweet corn, diced cucumber, red onion, and cilantro.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lime juice, chili powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently to combine.
Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled, garnished with additional cilantro if desired.

Notes

This salad can be made a day in advance; just keep the dressing separate until ready to serve to maintain the crunch of the vegetables.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
For a lighter version, substitute Greek yogurt with a dairy-free yogurt.
