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 occasionally until charred. Remove and cool.
  2. Once cooled, cut the kernels off the corn cobs into a large mixing bowl.
  3. Dice the cucumber, and finely chop the red onion and cilantro. Add them to the mixing bowl with the corn.
  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. Toss gently until everything is evenly coated.
  6. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  7. Serve cold, garnished with extra cilantro and chili powder if desired.
