Description
A vibrant salad featuring grilled chicken, sweet corn, and cherry tomatoes tossed in a creamy dressing, perfect for summer gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups grilled chicken, diced
- 2 cups corn kernels, grilled
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup red onion, diced
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare your grilled ingredients: Start by grilling the chicken until fully cooked and grill the corn until it caramelizes nicely on the outside. Chop them into bite-sized pieces as they cool.
- Combine in a large bowl: Combine the grilled chicken, corn, halved cherry tomatoes, diced red onion, and chopped cilantro. Gently toss them together to distribute the flavors evenly.
- Make the dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lime juice, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
- Drizzle the dressing over your salad ingredients. Using a spatula, gently fold the dressing into the salad until every morsel gets a lovely coating.
- Serve: You can either dig right in or chill your salad in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to let those flavors meld beautifully.
