  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Salad Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 English cucumbers, halved and sliced (about 3 cups)
  • 2 cups rotisserie chicken, chopped
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, minced
  • 3 green onions, sliced
  • 1 jalapeno, seeded and diced
  • 1/4 red onion, diced
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
  • 15.25 oz can sweet corn, drained

Dressing

  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (2% or higher for creaminess)
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 lime, juice and zest of
  • 1 clove garlic, finely minced or grated
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp freshly cracked pepper

Instructions

  1. Dry the Cucumbers: Lay the cucumber slices in a single layer on paper towels, then add another layer of paper towels on top. Press gently into the cucumbers to absorb excess moisture. Leave them to dry under the towels while you prepare the other ingredients.
  2. Make the Dressing: In a medium bowl, combine Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, garlic, lime juice and zest, chili powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust the seasoning if desired, adding more cumin or chili powder as preferred.
  3. Combine Salad Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the dried cucumbers, sweet corn, chopped chicken, cilantro, green onions, jalapeno, red onion, and red bell pepper.
  4. Toss with Dressing: Pour most of the dressing over the salad ingredients and gently mix with a spatula until all components are evenly coated. Add the remaining dressing if you prefer a creamier salad.
  5. Chill and Serve: Serve the salad chilled. Store in the refrigerator in a tightly sealed container to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • After the salad sets in the fridge, some liquid may settle at the bottom due to cucumber moisture and yogurt. Carefully pour off any excess liquid before serving.
  • Toss the salad again before serving to redistribute the dressing evenly.
  • Adjust the heat level by adding more or less jalapeno and chili powder according to preference.
