Steps
  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high, around 400°F. Grill corn for 10–12 minutes, rotating until tender and charred. Cool slightly before handling.
  2. Slice the kernels off the cobs into a large mixing bowl.
  3. Dice the cucumber, chop the red onion, and add cilantro to the bowl. Stir gently to blend.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, garlic, lime juice, chili powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  5. Pour dressing over the corn and veggie mixture and gently toss until coated.
  6. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  7. Just before serving, stir lightly and adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with extra cilantro and chili powder.
