- ✓Use full-fat Greek yogurt (5-10% fat content) instead of regular yogurt because the higher protein and fat content prevents curdling when mixed with acidic lemon juice.ingredient5-10% fat content
- ✓Salt the corn kernels 10 minutes before mixing to draw out excess moisture through osmosis, preventing a watery salad that dilutes flavors.timing10 minutes
- ✓Crumble feta cheese into 1/4-inch pieces rather than fine crumbles to maintain texture contrast and prevent the cheese from dissolving into the yogurt base.technique1/4-inch pieces
- ✓Add diced avocado just before serving because avocado's polyphenol oxidase enzyme causes browning within 30-60 minutes when exposed to air and acid.timing30-60 minutes
