Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon chili-lime seasoning
  • 1/2 cup finely diced red onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

  • 1 pinch sea salt

Method
 

  1. Place corn in a dry non-stick skillet over high heat and sear until light golden-brown char marks appear.
  2. Remove corn from heat and allow it to cool completely.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lime juice, chili-lime seasoning, and salt until smooth.
  4. Gently fold the cooled corn, red onion, cilantro, and crumbled cheese into the yogurt mixture.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld before serving.

Notes

For a more luxurious texture, blend in a quarter of a ripe avocado. Serve with corn tortilla chips, cucumber slices, or bell pepper strips for a low-carb veggie dipper. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
