1
Grill the Corn
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the corn for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until the kernels are charred and cooked through.
2
Cool and Cut the Corn
Remove the corn from the grill and let it cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, cut the kernels off the cob into a large bowl.
3
Mix the Ingredients
Add the mayonnaise, lime juice (squeezed from the lime), chili powder, and salt to the bowl with the corn. Stir to combine.
4
Add Feta and Onions
Gently fold in the feta cheese and crispy fried onions until evenly distributed.
5
Garnish and Serve
Sprinkle with fresh cilantro before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
