Ingredients
Scale
4 cups corn (fresh or frozen)
1 cup Greek yogurt (plain, full-fat or low-fat)
1/2 cup red bell pepper, diced
1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
1 lime, juiced
1 teaspoon chili powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Prepare the corn. If using fresh corn, grill or roast the ears until char marks appear, then let cool slightly and slice the kernels off the cob. If using frozen, cook according to package directions and drain; optionally sauté in a hot skillet.
Combine the base. In a large bowl, add the corn, Greek yogurt, diced red bell pepper, finely chopped red onion, and chopped cilantro.
Add seasonings. Squeeze lime juice over the mixture, sprinkle chili powder, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Toss to coat. Mix gently until yogurt coats the corn and vegetables evenly. Adjust seasoning as needed.
Chill. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld.
Serve. Spoon into a bowl and enjoy as a vibrant side dish or light meal.
Notes
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Pairs well with grilled proteins or used as a topping for tortillas.
