Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F. Grill fresh corn on the cob for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally until charred.
  2. Remove the corn from the grill, let it cool for 5 minutes, then cut the kernels off the cob into a mixing bowl.
  3. Add diced cucumber, chopped red onion, and chopped cilantro to the bowl with corn. Gently toss to combine.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, minced garlic, lime juice, chili powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  5. Pour the dressing over the corn and vegetable mixture, tossing gently until everything is coated with the dressing.
  6. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving to enhance flavors.
  7. After chilling, stir the salad to redistribute the dressing before serving.
