Dressing Preparation
- In a food processor, combine plain Greek yogurt, fresh lime juice, roughly chopped cilantro, garlic cloves, salt, and a pinch of cayenne. Blend until smooth and creamy, about 30 seconds.
- Taste your dressing; adjust seasoning if desired, and then transfer to a bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
Pasta Preparation
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the bow tie pasta and cook according to package instructions, usually around 8–10 minutes, until al dente. Drain the pasta and rinse under cold water.
Corn Preparation
- If using fresh corn, bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the corn cobs and boil for 1.5 to 2 minutes. Remove from the water and let cool.
- For canned or frozen corn, simply drain well, ensuring excess moisture is removed.
Combining Ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled pasta, corn, halved cherry tomatoes, finely chopped red onion, and remaining chopped cilantro. Gently fold the ingredients together.
- Pour in the desired amount of dressing and toss well until everything is coated.
Serving
- To serve, gently fold in diced avocado. Serve immediately or let chill for another 15 minutes to enhance flavors.

Notes
Adjust lime zest as desired; use fresh ingredients for best flavor. Avocado should be added just before serving to prevent browning.
