Ingredients
  

For the Salad
  • 2 pcs English Cucumbers You can use pickling cucumbers for a similar texture.
  • 2 cups Canned Sweet Corn Fresh corn on the cob is preferable for a pop of flavor.
  • 1 cup Shredded Rotisserie Chicken For a vegetarian option, substitute with garbanzo beans.
  • 1/2 cup Cilantro If you're not a fan of cilantro, parsley is a great alternative.
  • 3 pcs Green Onions Red onions work too but use them sparingly for less intensity.
  • 1 pcs Jalapeño Omit for a milder salad, or swap for bell pepper for sweetness.
  • 1/2 cup Red Onion Soak in water to reduce pungency if desired.
  • 1 pcs Red Bell Pepper Feel free to use any sweet pepper you like.
For the Dressing
  • 1 cup Plain Greek Yogurt Sour cream can substitute for a richer flavor.
  • 1/4 cup Mayonnaise Use avocado for a healthier alternative, highlighting the creamy aspect.
  • 2 pcs Lime (juice and zest) If you don't have lime, lemon will work just fine.

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Start by slicing the English cucumbers into thin rounds. Lay the slices out on paper towels and gently pat them dry to remove any excess moisture.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, minced garlic, lime juice, lime zest, and your choice of chili powder, paprika, and cumin. Whisk these ingredients together for about 2-3 minutes until the dressing is smooth and creamy.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the dried cucumber slices, canned sweet corn, shredded rotisserie chicken, finely chopped cilantro, green onions, diced jalapeño, red onion, and red bell pepper. Gently toss the ingredients together to ensure even distribution of flavors.
  4. Pour three-quarters of the creamy dressing over the mixed salad ingredients. Fold the dressing gently into the salad until all components are well coated.
  5. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the Street Corn Cucumber Salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully.
  6. Serve it chilled or at room temperature, garnishing with additional cilantro or lime wedges if desired.
