2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn kernels, diced cucumber, chopped red onion, and cilantro.
   
   

3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, minced garlic, lime juice, chili powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
   
   

4. Pour the dressing over the corn and cucumber mixture, tossing until evenly coated.
   
   

5. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
   
   

6. Before serving, give the salad a quick stir and adjust seasoning if needed.
   
   

7. Garnish with additional cilantro and a sprinkle of chili powder, if desired.
