Ingredients
  

For the salad

  • 2 12 oz bags frozen roasted corn, thawed in a colander
  • 1 small green bell pepper, diced in small pieces
  • 1 small red bell pepper, diced in small pieces
  • 1/4 cup red onion, chopped fine
  • 1 avocado, diced in small cubes
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped fine
  • lime for squeezing on top

For the dressing

  • 1/2 cup non-fat, strained Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp mayo
  • 1/2 lime, zested
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1 tsp ranch seasoning mix
  • 1/4 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl combine all of the dressing ingredients until smooth and creamy.
  • In a large bowl add all of the salad ingredients minus the avocado. Pour dressing mix over the top and mix until all the veggies are coated. Top with fresh avocado, a squeeze of lime juice, and a little more cilantro if you like. Serve immediately, or keep refrigerated until ready to eat.

Notes

Make ahead- This salad can be made 1 day in advance. Leave off the avocado until ready to serve.
Using Fresh Corn- If you have the extra time and corn is in season, place 5 ears of corn on a hot grill and turn every 2 minutes until charred in spots. This takes about 10 minutes. Let cool and remove corn off the cob by standing the corn on the flat end. Use a sharp knife to run down the cob removing the kernels. The corn should come off easily.
