- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
- Prepare the chicken by grilling or roasting until fully cooked, then dice into bite-sized pieces.
- Grill fresh corn until slightly charred and remove kernels, or use drained canned corn.
- Dice the cucumber and finely chop the red onion.
- In a large bowl, mix mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lime juice, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
- Add chicken, corn, cucumber, and onion to the dressing. Gently mix to coat evenly.

Use rotisserie chicken for a quick shortcut.
Fresh grilled corn adds a smoky flavor, but canned corn works well too.
For a lighter version, replace half the mayonnaise with extra Greek yogurt.
Add jalapeño or chili powder for a spicy kick.
