Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups grilled or roasted chicken, diced
- 1 cup sweet corn, grilled or canned
- 1 large cucumber, diced

Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients: Begin by grilling or roasting the chicken and corn until they are beautifully charred, then allow them to cool. Dice everything into bite-sized pieces.
- Mix the dressing: In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lime juice, cilantro, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.

- Toss gently: Using a spatula or large mixing spoon, gently fold all the ingredients together until coated in the creamy dressing.
- Chill: Refrigerate your salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the ingredients to marry together.
- Serve: Garnish with crumbled feta cheese, if desired, and serve chilled.
Notes
Make-ahead Tips: Prep the ingredients a day in advance and store them separately. Mix them together just before serving to maintain that crunch.
