Ingredients
  

For the Salad
  • 2 cups cooked chicken shredded
  • 1 cup corn grilled or canned
  • 1 medium cucumber diced
  • 1/2 cup red onion finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 tbsp lime juice fresh
  • 1 tsp chili powder for spice
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder for flavor
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Measuring Cups and Spoons
  • Spatula or Wooden Spoon

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Gather all your ingredients and shred your cooked chicken, if not already done. If using fresh corn, grill until slightly charred and cut the kernels off the cob.
  2. Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, grilled or canned corn, diced cucumber, and finely chopped red onion. Use a spatula to gently mix these ingredients until well incorporated.
  3. Step 3: In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  4. Step 4: Pour the dressing over the chicken and vegetable mixture and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Step 5: Taste and adjust the seasoning before serving.
  6. Step 6: Transfer the salad to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped cilantro. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

This salad stores well in the fridge for up to 3 days. Add cucumber just before serving to maintain its crunch.
