Scale

- 2 cups cooked rotisserie chicken, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, minced
- 3 green onions, sliced
- 1 jalapeno, seeded and diced
- 1/4 red onion, diced
- 1/2 red bell pepper, seeded and diced

Instructions
- Lay the cucumber slices on a layer of paper towels. Place another layer of paper towels on top and gently press to absorb any excess moisture. Let them sit while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lime juice, lime zest, garlic, chili powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper until smooth. Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if needed.
- In a large bowl, combine the cucumbers, rotisserie chicken, cilantro, green onions, jalapeno, red onion, red bell pepper, and sweet corn.
- Pour most of the dressing over the salad and gently toss everything together to coat evenly. Add the remaining dressing if desired for extra creaminess.
- Serve chilled. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
