🛒 Ingredients

For the Salad:

• 3–4 chicken breasts, seasoned with salt, pepper, and Cajun seasoning
  (Short on time? Use a store-bought rotisserie chicken and shred it!)

• 6 stalks of celery, diced

• 2–4 bell peppers, diced (mix colours for extra brightness)

• 2 ears of corn, cooked and kernels removed (or use frozen corn, thawed)

• 1 red onion, diced

• 1 cup shredded carrots

• 2 jalapeños, diced (optional—for an extra kick)

For the Dressing:

• 1 cup Greek yogurt

• 2 tbsp mayonnaise

• 3 tbsp sriracha

• 2 tbsp honey

• Juice of ½ lemon

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• Salt and pepper to taste

🥗 Method

1. Prepare the Chicken
   Cook the chicken breasts with a sprinkle of salt, pepper, and Cajun seasoning. Once fully cooked, let them rest for a few minutes, then dice into bite-sized pieces.
   Tip: Want to save time? Shred a rotisserie chicken instead.

2. Chop the Veggies
   Dice the celery, bell peppers, red onion, and (if using) jalapeños. Shred the carrots, and cut the corn off the cob if using fresh.

3. Blend the Dressing
   In a blender or food processor, combine the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, sriracha, honey, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.

4. Assemble the Salad
   In a large bowl, toss together the diced chicken, chopped vegetables, and creamy dressing until everything is evenly coated.

5. Chill and Serve
   Let the salad sit in the fridge for 15–30 minutes to allow flavours to meld. Serve chilled, and enjoy!

💡 Serving Suggestions
