Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh corn kernels (approximately 4 ears of corn)

1 cup crumbled feta cheese

1/2 cup Greek yogurt

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1/2 red bell pepper, finely diced

2 green onions, thinly sliced

1 small jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional for a spicy kick)

Juice of 1 lime

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Corn: If using fresh corn, fill a large pot with water and bring it to a rolling boil. Carefully add the corn ears and cook them for 3-5 minutes until they are tender. Drain the corn and let it cool completely. For an added depth of flavor, consider grilling the corn on the cob until it has nice char marks before cutting off the kernels.

    Create the Creamy Base: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and mayonnaise. Use a whisk or spoon to mix them together until the mixture is smooth and well blended.

      Incorporate Flavorings: Add the crumbled feta cheese, lime juice, garlic powder, cumin, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper to the yogurt and mayo mixture. Gently blend until everything is well combined but maintain a slightly chunky texture for added bite.

        Fold in Fresh Veggies: Carefully fold in the prepared corn kernels, diced red bell pepper, thinly sliced green onions, and minced jalapeño (if you choose to use it). Mix with a spatula to ensure that the vegetables are evenly distributed throughout the creamy base without over-mixing.

          Taste and Adjust Seasoning: Take a moment to taste the dip and adjust the seasoning as necessary. Add more salt, pepper, or lime juice according to your preference to enhance the flavors.

            Chill and Serve: Once mixed, transfer the dip to a serving bowl and cover it with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld beautifully. Before serving, garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired. Enjoy it chilled with tortilla chips, pita bread, or an assortment of fresh vegetables for dipping.
