Street Corn Chicken Salad
This Street Corn Creamy Cucumber Chicken Salad is bright, crunchy, and deeply satisfying, with tender chicken, cool cucumber, sweet corn, and a creamy, zesty dressing. It is the kind of bowl that feels fresh enough for lunch but hearty enough for dinner.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast chopped or shredded
- 2 cups corn fresh or frozen, cooked and cooled
- 1 cucumber diced
- 0.25 cup red onion finely chopped
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro chopped
- 0.33 cup mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp smoked paprika
- 0.75 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 cup feta cheese crumbled
Instructions
- Dice the cucumber, finely chop the red onion, and chop the cilantro. If your corn is fresh, cook it until tender, then let it cool completely.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lime juice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
- Add the chicken, corn, cucumber, red onion, and cilantro to the bowl. Gently fold everything together so the dressing coats the salad evenly.
- Top with crumbled feta, give it one final taste, and add a little more lime juice or seasoning if needed. Serve right away or chill for a short time before serving.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Since this is a chilled salad, it does not need reheating.
