Step-by-Step Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add fusilli pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually 8–10 minutes. Drain pasta and set aside to cool.
- In a medium skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add corn kernels and sauté for about 3–4 minutes until golden brown. Remove from heat to cool.
- Add diced jalapeño to the skillet with sautéed corn. Sauté for an additional minute until softened. Allow the mixture to cool completely.
- In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lime juice, Worcestershire sauce, half of the crumbled cotija cheese, and chili powder until smooth.
- In a large salad bowl, combine cooled fusilli pasta, sautéed corn, and jalapeño mixture. Drizzle with prepared dressing and toss gently.
- Sprinkle remaining cotija cheese and chopped cilantro over the salad. Serve with lime wedges or chill for an hour.
