# Guide to Cooking:
01 -
Arrange cucumber slices in a single layer on paper towels. Cover with an additional layer of paper towels and press gently to absorb excess moisture. Allow to rest while preparing other ingredients.
02 -
In a medium bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, minced garlic, lime juice and zest, chili powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste, adding more cumin or chili powder if desired.
03 -
In a large mixing bowl, combine cucumbers, drained corn, rotisserie chicken, cilantro, green onions, jalapeno, red onion, and red bell pepper.
04 -
Pour most of the dressing over the salad ingredients and fold gently with a spatula until evenly coated. Add remaining dressing as preferred. Chill before serving and store leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Use higher-fat Greek yogurt for a creamier texture. Adjust seasonings to personal preference. For increased spiciness, retain jalapeno seeds or add additional chili powder.
