Instructions
Begin by either cutting the corn off of the cob, draining your canned corn, or opening your frozen bag of corn.
Add the olive oil to a skillet and heat the corn on a high setting until it chars a little. Be sure to watch closely to ensure the corn does not burn.
Set aside the corn to cool.
Add the chopped bell pepper, jalapeño, and cilantro in with the corn. Stir well.
In a small bowl combine the lime juice, Greek yogurt, paprika, and cumin. Mix well.
Pour the dressing over the corn and vegetables. Mix well.
Add diced avocado and crumbled cheese on top.
Add salt and pepper, to taste. The cheese can be quite salty so be sure to taste before adding additional salt.
Notes
Feta can be substituted if you cannot find queso fresco.
Add more cheese to your taste, if desired.
Add more Greek yogurt to make this salad creamier, if desired.
