Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F (200°C). Grill the corn cobs for 10-12 minutes, turning until charred and slightly crispy. Remove from heat and cool for 5 minutes.
  2. Slice off the grilled corn kernels with a key knife over a mixing bowl to capture all juices. Dice the cucumber and red onion, then add to the bowl with corn. Chop cilantro and add.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt and mayonnaise until smooth. Mix in minced garlic, lime juice, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk for about a minute.
  4. Pour the creamy dressing over the corn mixture and toss until coated.
  5. Cover with plastic wrap or a lid, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes for flavors to meld.
  6. Before serving, stir the salad, adjust seasoning if needed, and garnish with extra cilantro. Serve chilled.

Notes

Allow grilled corn to cool completely before cutting to prevent burns. Consider using a stovetop grill pan for added smokiness. Dress the salad just before serving to maintain cucumber crispness.
