1-First Step: Dry the cucumbers Lay the cucumber slices in a single layer on paper towels. Place another layer of paper towels on top and let them sit while you prep the rest of the ingredients. This step removes extra moisture, which helps the creamy dressing stay thick and cling to every bite.

2-Second Step: Mix the dressing In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lime juice, lime zest, minced garlic, chili powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and cracked pepper. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Taste the dressing and adjust it if you want a little more lime, a touch more salt, or extra chili powder for heat.

3-Third Step: Prep the salad base In a large mixing bowl, add the dried cucumbers, drained sweet corn, chopped rotisserie chicken, cilantro, green onions, jalapeño, red onion, and red bell pepper. Make sure the cucumber slices are dry before they go in the bowl so the final salad does not turn watery after a few minutes.

4-Fourth Step: Add the creamy dressing Pour most of the dressing over the salad mixture. Use a spatula to gently toss everything until the cucumber salad is evenly coated. If the salad looks a little dry, add more dressing until it reaches the texture you like.

5-Fifth Step: Chill and serve Serve the salad chilled for the best flavor and texture. If you have time, let it rest in the fridge for a few minutes before serving so the flavors can blend together. This recipe makes 4 servings and takes about 15 minutes total, which makes it a great choice for quick lunches or easy side dishes.
