Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Husk the fresh corn on the cob, removing the outer green husks and silky strands. Rinse under cool water and set aside.
  2. Place the prepared corn in a microwave-safe dish and microwave on high for about 4-5 minutes, checking for doneness at 4 minutes.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, dill, parsley, chives, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
  4. Once the corn has cooled slightly, place it on a serving platter and drizzle the herbed yogurt sauce over the top.

Notes

Check doneness early to avoid overcooking. Use fresh herbs for best flavor. Leftovers should be stored separately to maintain freshness.
