  1. Prepare the Chicken: Grill or roast your chicken until fully cooked, then dice into bite-sized pieces.

  6. Add Cilantro: Toss in the chopped cilantro and mix well.
  7. Taste and Adjust: Sample the salad and adjust seasoning with more salt or lime juice if needed.
  8. Chill: Let the salad chill in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes before serving to meld flavors.
  9. Serve: Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with crumbled feta cheese if desired.

Notes

Use fresh corn for best results. If using canned corn, ensure it is drained well. This salad is naturally gluten-free and high in protein.
