Directions
Step 1
If using fresh corn, cook the kernels in boiling water for 3-5 minutes, then drain and cool. If using frozen corn, thaw it completely. Canned corn should be drained thoroughly.

In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, curry powder, lime juice, sugar, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well-combined.
Step 4
Pour the curry dressing over the corn mixture and toss gently until all the ingredients are evenly coated.
Step 5
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or lime juice if desired.
Step 6
Place the salad in the refrigerator to chill for at least 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 7
Before serving, garnish with toasted almonds or sunflower seeds for a bit of crunch, if desired.
Step 8
Serve chilled as a side dish or enjoy on its own as a light meal.
