Enhance the Flavors:
- Use fresh herbs: Add chopped cilantro, cumin, and oregano for extra freshness and depth of flavor.
- Roast the corn: Roasting the corn adds a sweet and smoky flavor.
- Grill the chicken: Grilling the chicken gives it a slightly charred flavor that complements the other ingredients.
- Add a smoky chipotle pepper: A touch of chipotle powder or a diced canned chipotle pepper adds a subtle smoky heat.
Textural Variations:
- Add crunch: Add toasted nuts (such as almonds or cashews) or tortilla chips for added crunch.
- Cream it up: Stir in some sour cream or Greek yogurt to create a creamy texture.
Balance the sweetness:
- Use fresh or frozen sweet corn: Fresh sweet corn is the best option, but frozen corn can also work well. Season with a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness.
- Add a touch of acidity: Squeeze in some lime juice or add a splash of white wine vinegar to brighten the flavors.
Presentation:
- Arrange on a bed of lettuce: Serve the salad over a bed of mixed greens for a fresh and vibrant presentation.
- Garnish with avocado: Avocado adds color, creaminess, and healthy fats.
- Drizzle with a lime vinaigrette: Whisk together lime juice, olive oil, honey, and salt and drizzle it over the salad for an extra burst of flavor.
Other Tips:
- Make it ahead of time: The salad can be made up to 2 days in advance. Just store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- Use leftover chicken: Rotisserie chicken or leftover grilled chicken is a convenient option for making this salad.
- Add other vegetables: Feel free to add other vegetables to the salad, such as diced bell peppers, onions, or black beans.
