Ingredients

Salad Components

  • 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 3 cups sweet corn kernels use fresh, frozen, or canned
  • 1/3 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 1/3 cup crumbled queso fresco
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 medium diced jalapeño pepper remove seeds for less heat

Creamy Dressing

  • 1/2 cup non-fat plain yogurt
  • 2 tbsp reduced-fat sour cream
  • 2 tbsp lime juice freshly squeezed is best
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp kosher salt or to taste
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper freshly ground

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • In a bowl, combine the yogurt, sour cream, lime juice, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Whisk until the mixture is creamy and well blended.
  • In a larger mixing bowl, incorporate the shredded chicken, corn kernels, red onion, queso fresco, chopped parsley, and jalapeño. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients evenly.
  • Pour the creamy dressing over the chicken mixture and fold gently until everything is thoroughly coated. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  • Cover the salad and chill for about 20 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
  • Give the salad a quick stir before serving, and top with additional queso fresco and parsley if desired.

Notes

Serve this salad chilled as a refreshing side dish or a light main course. You can add avocado slices for extra creaminess or even swap out cheese for a dairy-free version.
