Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and grill the corn for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally.
Remove corn from the grill and let it cool before slicing off the kernels.
Dice the cucumber, chop the red onion, and cilantro, then combine in a large bowl with the corn.
In a separate bowl, mix Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, garlic, lime juice, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
Pour dressing over the salad mixture and stir gently until well combined.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld.
Before serving, stir and adjust seasoning if necessary, then serve chilled.
