Method
 

Grilling and Preparation
  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F (200°C). Grill the corn cobs for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally until slightly charred and fragrant.
  2. Remove the corn from the grill and let it cool. Cut the kernels off the cob and place them in a large mixing bowl. Dice the cucumber, chop the red onion, and add them to the bowl along with chopped cilantro.
Making the Dressing
  1. In a separate bowl, combine Greek yogurt and mayonnaise, whisking until smooth. Add minced garlic, lime juice, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly.
Combining the Salad
  1. Pour the dressing over the corn and vegetable mixture, tossing gently to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Before serving, give the salad a gentle toss and garnish with extra cilantro and a sprinkle of chili powder.
