  • 2 cups corn fresh, frozen, or canned
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1/2 unit red onion diced
  • 1/2 cup cilantro chopped
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese optional
  • Lime wedges for serving

Equipment

  • Large Pot
  • Large bowl

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the elbow macaroni and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool.
  2. Step 2: If using fresh corn, grill or boil the corn until tender, then cut the kernels off the cob. If using frozen corn, cook it according to package directions. If using canned corn, drain and rinse.
  3. Step 3: In a large bowl, combine Greek yogurt, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  4. Step 4: In the same bowl, add the cooked pasta, corn, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro. Toss everything together until the pasta and vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
  5. Step 5: If desired, gently fold in the crumbled feta cheese for added flavor.
  6. Step 6: Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled with lime wedges on the side.
