👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the vegetables
   Dice cucumbers and finely chop the red onion and cilantro.

2. Cook or grill the corn
   If using fresh corn, lightly grill or sauté it until slightly charred for that street-corn flavor.

   In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), lime juice, lime zest, garlic, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.

4. Combine the salad
   In a large mixing bowl, add cucumbers, corn, red onion, and cilantro.

5. Mix and finish
   Pour the dressing over the salad and toss well. Sprinkle crumbled feta or cotija cheese on top.

6. Chill & serve
   Refrigerate for 15–20 minutes before serving to let the flavors blend.
