  3. Cut the cooled corn kernels from the cob and transfer them into a mixing bowl.
  4. Add diced cucumber, finely chopped red onion, and chopped cilantro to the corn in the bowl. Mix gently.
  5. In another bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, minced garlic, lime juice, chili powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  6. Pour the dressing over the corn and vegetable mixture, and toss gently to coat.
  7. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to meld flavors.
  8. Before serving, toss again, taste, and adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with extra cilantro and a sprinkle of chili powder.
