Method
 

Instructions
  1. Begin by dicing 2 cups of grilled or roasted chicken, 1 large cucumber, and ½ cup of finely chopped red onion. Place these freshly chopped ingredients into a large mixing bowl.
  2. If you're using fresh sweet corn, grill it on medium-high heat for about 8-10 minutes until slightly charred. Once grilled, let it cool slightly and slice kernels off the cob. For canned corn, rinse and drain it, then add it directly.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine ½ cup of mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon of lime juice, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon of salt, and ½ teaspoon of black pepper. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
  4. Pour the dressing over the chicken and vegetable mixture in the large bowl. Toss gently until well coated.
  5. Stir in 1 tablespoon of chopped cilantro, mixing lightly. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
  6. If using feta cheese, crumble it on top before serving. Serve chilled.
