Ingredients
Vegetables
- 4 ears ears of corn, husked
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Dairy
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
Citrus
- 1 lime, juiced
Spices & Seasoning
- 1 tsp chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Grilling the Corn
- Grill the corn until charred and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Allow it to cool, then cut the kernels off the cob.
Making the Dressing
- In a large bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, lime juice, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
Combining the Salad
- Add the corn kernels, feta cheese, and cilantro to the bowl.
Tossing the Salad
- Mix until everything is well combined and evenly coated with the dressing.
Chilling and Serving
- Serve chilled or at room temperature as a summer side dish for BBQs and potlucks.
Notes
Char the corn evenly over medium-high heat to enhance smoky flavor while avoiding burning. Let grilled corn cool slightly before cutting to prevent losing juices. Adjust salt, pepper, and lime to taste as Greek yogurt may mellow flavors. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. For firmer texture, add feta right before serving.
