Step-by-Step Instructions

  2. Dice the cucumber, slice the cherry tomatoes in half, and chop the red onion. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled corn, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, and chopped red onion.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, and lime juice until creamy. Add chili powder, salt, and pepper to taste.
  4. Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and gently toss everything together until fully coated.
  5. Crumble feta cheese over the top and sprinkle with chopped cilantro. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to an hour to let the flavors meld.
