Experience creamy, tangy bliss with this Healthy Street Corn Salad! Charred corn, zesty lime, rich Greek yogurt, and salty feta unite for a vibrant side. Full instructions and nutrition info included.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups corn kernels (from 4–5 ears of fresh corn, or 16 oz frozen, thawed)
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (or to taste)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Prepare the corn by grilling or roasting fresh corn cobs until slightly charred, then cut the kernels off. Alternatively, if using frozen corn, thaw completely and sauté in a dry skillet over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes until lightly browned and slightly charred, then let cool slightly.
  2. Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, fresh lime juice, chili powder, and sea salt until well combined and smooth, creating the creamy dressing.
  3. Step 3: Add the cooled corn kernels, finely diced red onion, and chopped fresh cilantro to the bowl with the Greek yogurt dressing. Stir gently until all ingredients are evenly coated.
  4. Step 4: Gently fold in the crumbled feta cheese into the corn mixture, distributing it evenly throughout the salad.
  5. Step 5: Taste the salad and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more lime juice, salt, or chili powder to your preference. Serve immediately for best texture, or chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes for the flavors to meld before serving cold.

Notes

  • Keep any leftover salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days; while it's delicious fresh, the flavors can deepen beautifully overnight.
  • This refreshing salad is designed to be served cold, so there's no need to reheat it; simply pull it from the fridge a few minutes before serving for optimal texture and temperature.
  • Serve this versatile salad as a vibrant side dish for grilled chicken or fish, a flavorful topping for tacos or burrito bowls, or even as a zesty dip with your favorite sturdy tortilla chips.
  • Embrace the char! Whether grilling fresh corn or sautéing frozen, that lightly browned and slightly charred surface adds an essential smoky sweetness that truly makes this street corn salad shine.
