  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x
  • Method: Stovetop
  • Cuisine: American

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups (about 1.5 lbs) frozen corn kernels
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (low-fat or full-fat)
  • Juice of 1 large lime and zest of 1/2 lime
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 green onions (scallions), thinly sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt, plus more to taste

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the frozen corn kernels and cook, stirring occasionally, until the corn is tender and slightly charred in places, about 7-10 minutes. Remove from heat and let the corn cool slightly.
  2. Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lime juice, lime zest, chili powder, and sea salt until smooth and well combined.
  3. Step 3: Add the slightly cooled charred corn, chopped fresh cilantro, thinly sliced green onions, and crumbled feta cheese to the bowl with the Greek yogurt dressing.
  4. Step 4: Gently toss all the ingredients together until everything is evenly coated in the dressing.
  5. Step 5: Taste the salad and adjust seasoning with additional salt, lime juice, or chili powder if desired. Serve immediately or cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes for the flavors to meld before serving.

Notes

  • Keep this vibrant salad in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2-3 days; the fresh flavors are best enjoyed soon after preparation.
  • As this is a refreshing chilled salad with a creamy yogurt base, it's not suitable for reheating; simply serve it straight from the fridge for the best crisp and cool experience.
  • This zesty salad makes an incredible side for grilled chicken or fish, a fantastic topping for tacos or burrito bowls, or even a light and satisfying lunch on its own with some whole-grain chips for dipping.
  • For maximum flavor and to prevent the yogurt dressing from breaking, ensure your charred corn is cooled slightly before mixing it in; this little trick keeps your salad perfectly creamy and vibrant.
