Description
A bright, crunchy salad full of bold flavors, featuring juicy corn, cherry tomatoes, avocado, feta, and shredded chicken, all lifted by a squeeze of lime.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken
- 2 cups corn (fresh or canned)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup red onion, diced
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and chop the vegetables. If using fresh corn, remove kernels from the cob. Shred cooked chicken into bite-size pieces. Halve the cherry tomatoes and dice the red onion and avocado. Chop the cilantro and juice the lime.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, corn, cherry tomatoes, red onion, avocado, and cilantro. Toss gently so the avocado stays chunky and the ingredients distribute evenly.
- This salad requires no cooking if you use cooked chicken and canned or raw corn. For extra flavor, char the corn in a hot skillet or on a grill for 3–5 minutes until lightly browned, then cool slightly and add to the bowl.
- Squeeze fresh lime juice over the salad and toss to combine. Gently fold in the crumbled feta cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately or chill for later.
Notes
Use warm chicken for a cozy contrast with cold veggies, or chilled chicken for a light lunch. For a smoky flavor, char fresh corn on the grill or skillet before adding.
