CORN ON THE COB WITH COCONUT AND LIME
Anyone avoiding dairy might notice that corn on the cob served at cookouts usually comes slathered with butter. This vegan alternative uses coconut oil to add richness, lime juice for a little acid, and finely chopped, toasted coconut chips for added texture. Mixing half of the chips into the oil helps them stick to the cob, which is smart because you'll want them in every bite. If you can't find coconut chips, toasted unsweetened coconut flakes will add a nutty flavor, but you won't get the delightful crunch.

Steps:
- Heat your grill to medium-high. Grill corn, turning occasionally, until cooked through and lightly charred, 10 to 12 minutes. (Alternatively, add corn to a large pot of salted boiling water and cook for 5 to 7 minutes.)
- Meanwhile, zest the lime. Set aside the zest then cut the lime in half. Cut one half into four wedges and squeeze the remaining half into a small bowl. Stir the coconut oil and half the chopped coconut chips into the lime juice.
- Slather hot corn with coconut oil mixture and season with salt. Sprinkle with lime zest and remaining coconut chips. Serve with lime wedges alongside for squeezing.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Put the potatoes in a saucepan, cover with cold water and season with salt. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are tender, 6 to 8 minutes, adding the broccoli halfway through. Drain and transfer the potatoes and broccoli to a large bowl; set aside.

Bake until crisp and cooked through, about 18 minutes.

Steps:
- Prepare the chicken:
- In a bowl let the chicken marinate in the lime juice with the orégano and salt and pepper to taste, covered and chilled, for at least 30 minutes or up to 1 hour. Drain the chicken, pat it dry, and brush it with the oil. Grill the chicken, seasoned with salt and pepper, on a well-oiled rack set about 6 inches over glowing coals for 6 to 7 minutes on each side, or until it is just cooked through. (Alternately, the chicken can be grilled on top of the stove in a ridged grill pan over moderately high heat for about the same length of time.) Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let it stand for 10 minutes.
- Make the tortilla crisps while the chicken is grilling:
- In a heavy skillet heat 1/2 inch oil to 375°F. on a deep-fat thermometer and in it fry the tortilla triangles in batches for 45 seconds to 1 minute, or until they are golden, transferring them with a slotted spatula as they are fried to paper towels to drain and sprinkling them with salt. The tortilla crisps may be made 1 day in advance and kept in an airtight container.
- In a large bowl combine the corn, the bell pepper, and the scallions, add the lime juice, the orégano, the cumin, the oil, and salt and black pepper to taste, and toss the mixture until it is combined well. Cut the chicken lengthwise into thin slices and add it to the corn mixture with any juices that have accumulated on the cutting board. Divide the arugula and the tortilla crisps among 4 plates and mound the chicken salad in the center of each plate.
Tips:
- Choose Fresh Corn: Select corn on the cob with bright green husks and tightly packed kernels. Avoid ears with brown or damaged husks, as these may indicate old or spoiled corn.
- Shuck and Clean the Corn: Pull back the husks and remove the silk from the corncobs. Rinse the ears under cold water to remove any remaining debris.
- Use a Variety of Chips: Feel free to experiment with different types of chips for the coating. Tortilla chips, potato chips, or even crushed pretzels can add unique flavors and textures to the corn.
- Season the Chip Mixture: Don't be afraid to add your favorite seasonings to the crushed chips. Garlic powder, paprika, chili powder, or cumin are great options for adding extra flavor.
- Coat the Corn Evenly: Make sure to press the chip mixture firmly onto the corncobs so that it adheres well. This will help create a crispy crust during grilling.
- Grill Over Medium Heat: Preheat your grill to medium heat and cook the corncobs for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Serve Immediately: Grilled corn on the cob is best enjoyed hot off the grill. Serve with melted butter, salt, and pepper for a classic side dish, or get creative with toppings like cilantro, lime wedges, or crumbled cheese.

Chip-crusted grilled corn is an easy and delicious way to elevate a classic summer dish.
