Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Use freshly shredded rotisserie chicken for best texture; avoid over-mixing to keep the salad from becoming mushy.
Mix the Greek yogurt and mayo dressing just before combining with vegetables to prevent the salad from becoming watery during storage.
Lightly toast or roast the corn before adding to intensify sweetness and create better flavor contrast with the creamy dressing.
Slice the shallot thinly and let it sit in the dressing for 5 minutes to mellow its sharp bite while infusing flavor throughout.

Substitutions

rotisserie chicken → grilled chicken breast or canned tuna (similar protein, adjust seasoning)
black soybeans → chickpeas or white beans (lighter flavor, same protein boost)
light mayonnaise → avocado or tahini (creamier texture, adds healthy fats)
roasted corn → fresh snap peas or diced celery (crunch without sweetness)

Storage & make-ahead

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; keep the dressing separate from raw vegetables if meal prepping to maintain crispness.

Common Questions

Can I make this salad ahead of time?

Yes. Chop vegetables and store separately from the chicken mixture in airtight containers for up to 3 days. Mix together just before eating to keep the salad crisp.

What can I substitute for Greek yogurt?

Plain nonfat yogurt or sour cream work as one-to-one replacements. For dairy-free, use cashew cream or vegan mayo, though the protein content will differ.

How much protein does this salad have per serving?

Each serving contains approximately 25-30g of protein from the rotisserie chicken and Greek yogurt, plus additional protein from black soybeans.

Can I use fresh corn instead of roasted?

Yes. Use 1 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels. Roasting adds deeper flavor, but raw or lightly steamed corn works if you prefer a lighter taste.

Is feta cheese included in the dressing or mixed in at the end?

While the recipe name references feta, it's not listed in the ingredients. Add 1/4 to 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese to the salad or dressing for tanginess and extra protein.
