SUMMER LAYERED SALAD WITH GRILLED CHICKEN AND TOMATO VINAIGRETTE
Here is the best of summer stacked in a salad. Though a lot of the ingredients are grilled, you can cook them simultaneously and pull them off as they finish. Just make sure to have your tools organized before you hit the flame. The tomato vinaigrette is creamy, sharp and sweet. Make it all summer long as your go-to salad dressing (even for non-vertical salads).

Steps:
- Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat. Roughly chop 2 of the tomatoes, and put into a blender, along with the lemon juice, mayonnaise, vinegar, honey, cayenne and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Blend until smooth.
- Toss the chicken with 3 tablespoons of the tomato dressing and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl.
- Lay the bread, corn and zucchini out on a rimmed baking sheet. Brush everything all over with 2 tablespoons of the tomato dressing, and sprinkle with about 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Keep the baking sheet near your grill to transfer the grilled ingredients to when they're ready.
- Grill the chicken until it is nicely marked on the outside and registers 160 degrees F in the thickest part on a meat thermometer, 8 to 10 minutes per side. Remove and let cool (it will finish cooking as it cools). Grill the zucchini until grill marks appear and it's slightly tender, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Grill the corn, turning as needed, until charred on all sides, 8 to 10 minutes. Grill the bread until nicely charred, about 2 minutes per side.
- Keeping all the individual ingredients separate, shave the corn kernels off the cobs, and cut the chicken, bread and zucchini into bite-size pieces.
- Using a straight-sided 3-quart tall glass bowl for 1 large salad or four 16-ounce wide-mouth glass jars with lids for 4 individual salads, make a first layer with half the romaine, then add the following in separate layers: half the basil, the chicken, the zucchini, the feta, the corn, the remaining romaine, the remaining basil, and the bread. Cut the 2 remaining tomatoes into thin wedges, and arrange on top. Sprinkle with more basil leaves for garnish. The salad can be put together, covered and refrigerated for up to 2 hours before serving.
- If making 1 salad, just before serving, transfer it to a large bowl, toss with the remaining dressing and season with salt and pepper. If making 4 salads, add dressing to each jar, season with salt and pepper, cover with the lid and shake to coat.

Steps:
- Cook the corn by one of two methods: the outdoor method or the indoor method.
- For the outdoor method: Soak the corn in their husks overnight in salt water. When ready to cook, preheat the grill to medium-low heat. Place the soaked corn, still in their husks, on the grill and close the lid. Grill for about 20 minutes, then remove the corn from the grill and let it cool enough so that you can handle it. Peel off and discard the husks.
- For the indoor method: Preheat a cast-iron grill pan over medium heat. Husk the corn and season with olive oil and salt. Grill on the grill pan, turning occasionally, until lightly charred in spots, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Mix together the anchovy, garlic and jalapeno in a large bowl with a large pinch salt. Add the lime juice and zest and whisk in the olive oil. Add the tomatoes, cilantro, scallions and avocado and gently toss.
- Cut the kernels off of the cobs, and add them to the salad. Toss to combine and taste for seasoning. You may need to add some additional salt.
GRILLED CORN SALAD
Steps:
- Prepare a hot grill.
- Toss the corn and scallions with 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil and 1 teaspoon of the salt.
- Place the corn and scallions on the hot grill. Turn the corn as it browns so that it is well browned all around. The scallions should be slightly charred in places. Remove the corn and scallions from the grill and let cool slightly.
- Cut the grilled corn kernels from the cobs into a medium mixing bowl. Chop the scallions and add them to the bowl. Add the tomatoes, radishes, lime juice, and the remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil and 1 teaspoon salt and toss until well incorporated.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, sweet corn. Look for ears with tightly packed kernels and bright green husks. Avoid ears with brown or yellow husks, as this indicates that the corn is old.
- Grill the corn over medium-high heat. This will help to char the kernels slightly and give them a smoky flavor.
- Rotate the corn frequently. This will help to ensure that the corn cooks evenly.
- Let the corn cool slightly before cutting it off the cob. This will make it easier to handle and prevent the kernels from falling apart.
- Use a variety of fresh herbs and vegetables in your salad. This will add flavor and texture.
- Add a flavorful dressing to your salad. This could be a simple vinaigrette, a creamy dressing, or a tangy salsa.
- Serve the salad immediately. This is when it is at its best.
Conclusion:
Layered grilled corn salad is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish or a main course. It is perfect for summer cookouts and potlucks. With its combination of fresh, sweet corn, flavorful herbs and vegetables, and a tangy dressing, this salad is sure to be a hit.
