Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by dicing your grilled or roasted chicken into bite-sized pieces and placing it in a large mixing bowl. Next, chop the cucumber into half-moons, finely dice the red onion, and roughly chop the cilantro.
  2. In a separate medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lime juice, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Using a whisk, mix these ingredients together until they form a smooth and creamy dressing.
  3. Add the sweet corn to your bowl of prepared ingredients with the chicken, cucumber, red onion, and cilantro. Gently mix everything together with a spatula.
  4. Pour the creamy dressing over the salad mixture. With a gentle hand, toss the ingredients together until everything is evenly coated by the dressing.
  5. Cover the salad bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the refrigerator for 15 to 30 minutes.
  6. Once chilled, give the salad a quick toss and transfer it to a serving bowl. If you like, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top.
