Salad with smoked chicken - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can use fresh or frozen corn instead of canned corn. Just cook the corn until tender, let it cool completely, and then add it to the salad to avoid wilting the other ingredients.
Store the salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for up to 2 days. The vegetables may release water over time, so it's best enjoyed fresh.
Yes, you can prepare the ingredients ahead of time, but for the best texture, add the dressing just before serving. This prevents the vegetables from becoming soggy.
Absolutely! Simply omit the smoked chicken and add a plant-based protein like chickpeas or marinated tofu. You might want to increase the amount of corn or cheese to keep the salad hearty.
Yes, you can substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt, a light vinaigrette, or even avocado cream for a healthier option. Just adjust the seasoning accordingly as these might be less salty than mayo.
It's not recommended to freeze this salad as the vegetables will become very watery and lose their texture when thawed. The mayonnaise can also separate. It's best enjoyed fresh.
To reduce carbs, you can reduce the amount of corn or omit it entirely. You could also add more protein (chicken, cheese) and non-starchy vegetables like bell peppers or celery for crunch.
Yes, feel free to add other crunchy vegetables like bell peppers, celery, or red onion. Just ensure they are cut to a similar size as the other ingredients for a uniform texture. You might want to adjust the amount of dressing slightly if you add a lot of extra ingredients.
