• 1 tbsp Olive oil for the corn (Use only enough to lightly coat the corn.)
• 1 Cucumber (Diced.)
• 2 cup Cherry tomatoes (Halved.)
• 0.5 Red onion (Very thinly sliced.)
• 150 g Feta cheese (Diced.)
• 0.25 cup Fresh parsley (Chopped.)
• Salt (To taste.)
• Black pepper (To taste.)
• 0.75 cup Full-fat plain yogurt, 3.5% fat (For the dressing.)
• 0.5 cup Sour cream (For the dressing.)
• 1 tbsp Olive oil for the dressing (For the dressing.)
• 1 tbsp Lemon juice (Freshly squeezed, if possible.)
• 0.5 tsp Garlic powder (For the dressing.)
• Salt for the dressing (To taste.)
• Black pepper for the dressing (To taste.)
• 2 tbsp Fresh dill (Chopped and added to the dressing.)

Steps

1. 1

   Drain the corn very well and carefully pat it dry with paper towels. Removing the moisture helps it become golden and crispy in the air fryer.

2. 2

   Place the dry corn in a bowl and toss it with a little olive oil, just enough to lightly coat it.

3. 3

   Preheat the air fryer to 200 °C. Place the corn in the basket in an even layer as much as possible.

4. 4

   Cook the corn for 14 to 16 minutes, shaking the basket once halfway through cooking. It should be golden, toasted, and crispy.

5. 5

   While the corn is cooking, dice the cucumber, halve the cherry tomatoes, and very thinly slice the red onion.

6. 6

   Dice the feta cheese and chop the fresh parsley.

7. 7

   In a separate bowl, add the yogurt, sour cream, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and dill. Mix until you have a smooth and creamy dressing.

8. 8

   Place the cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, feta cheese, and parsley in a large bowl.

9. 9

   Pour the dressing over the vegetables and cheese. Mix gently until all the ingredients are coated without breaking up the feta too much.

10. 10

    Add the crispy corn on top just before serving to preserve its texture.

Notes

Serve immediately after adding the corn to preserve its crunch. It is suitable as a salad, side dish, snack, or quick dinner. The quantities were estimated because the original source does not specify measurements.
