  • Total Time: 22 mins
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh corn kernels (can substitute with canned corn)
  • 1 medium cucumber (English cucumbers recommended)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes (grape tomatoes can be substituted)
  • 1/2 medium red onion (use green onions for milder taste)
  • 1 cup feta cheese (can substitute with goat cheese or omit)
  • 1/4 cup cilantro (can omit if not preferred)
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise (Greek yogurt can be used for lighter option)
  • 1/3 cup sour cream (can substitute with more Greek yogurt)
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice (lemon juice serves as a good substitute)
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder (adjust to preferred heat level)
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Start by cooking the fresh corn kernels until they’re tender but still crisp, usually taking about 5–7 minutes.
  2. Let the corn cool, then mix it with diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, and chopped red onion in a large bowl.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, chili powder, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
  4. Toss the dressing with the vegetable mixture until evenly coated.
  5. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese and chopped cilantro on top before serving.

Notes

For a fresh little spicy kick, add diced jalapeños if you like.
