Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ears Corn (Grilled or canned)
  • 1 large Cucumber (English cucumber preferred), diced
  • 1/2 cup Red Onion, diced (Substitute with green onions if desired)
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Cilantro, chopped (Substitute dill or parsley if needed)
  • 1 cup Greek Yogurt (Dairy-free option available)
  • 1/4 cup Mayonnaise (Optional for a lighter salad)
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced (or garlic powder as substitute)
  • 2 tablespoons Lime Juice (Can substitute with lemon juice)
  • 1 teaspoon Chili Powder (Adjust based on spice preference)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Piper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Gather Your Ingredients: Start by gathering all of your ingredients. Measure out everything so you’re ready for an easy and smooth cooking process.
  2. Preheat the Grill: If you’re using fresh corn, prepare your grill for medium-high heat. Preheat it nicely for that lovely char.
  3. Grill the Corn: Place the ears of corn on the grill and let them cook for about 10-12 minutes. Turn them occasionally until they are tender and boast those beautiful char marks, enhancing the smoky flavor.
  4. Cool and Cut the Corn: Once the corn is grilled to perfection, let it cool slightly. Stand the ear of corn upright and carefully cut downward with a sharp knife to remove the kernels. Place the freshly cut kernels into a large mixing bowl.
  5. Mix in the Fresh Veggies: Add the diced cucumber, red onion, and chopped cilantro to the bowl with the corn kernels. Gently mix these ingredients together, ensuring they’re evenly distributed for that perfect bite.
  6. Whisk the Creamy Dressing: In a separate bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise (if using), minced garlic, lime juice, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk together until it’s nice and smooth, bringing together all of those wonderful flavors.
  7. Combine Salad with Dressing: Pour that creamy dressing over the corn and vegetable mixture. Toss gently but thoroughly, ensuring every inch of that salad is coated with deliciousness.
  8. Chill the Salad: Cover your salad and place it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This resting time is essential as it allows the flavors to meld together beautifully while keeping the salad refreshingly cool.
  9. Final Adjustments: Before serving, taste your salad. Feel free to add a pinch more salt or pepper to elevate the flavors just to your liking.
  10. Garnish and Serve: Give your salad a final touch by garnishing it with extra fresh cilantro and a sprinkle of chili powder. Serve chilled as a refreshing summer side dish that will wow your guests!

Notes

This salad is versatile and can be served as a side or added to tacos for extra flavor. It’s great for picnics and travels well.
