Categories     Salad     Vegetable

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup grated parmesan
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced canned chipotle chiles in adobo
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 ears of corn, shucked
2 firm-ripe 6- to 8-oz avocados, halved and pitted but not peeled
1 head romaine (1 lb), tough outer leaves discarded and head quartered lengthwise, then cut crosswise into 1-inch strips

Steps:

  • Prepare grill for direct-heat cooking over hot charcoal (high heat for gas); see "Grilling Procedure." Put parmesan in a medium bowl and add olive oil in a slow stream, whisking. Whisk in lime juice, garlic, chipotles, and 1/4 tsp each of salt and pepper. Rub vegetable oil on corn and cut sides of avocados, then season with 1/8 tsp each of salt and pepper. Grill avocados, cut sides down, and corn, covered only if using a gas grill, turning corn occasionally, until golden-brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Peel avocados and thinly slice. Cut corn kernels from cobs. Toss romaine with dressing and serve topped with avocado and corn. Cooks' note: Corn and avocados can be grilled, in batches if necessary, in a lightly oiled hot grill pan over medium-high heat

I found this salad to be a bit bland. I think it could have used more seasoning. I also wasn't a fan of the grilled avocado - it was a bit too mushy for my taste.

This salad was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's just because I used a bit too much chipotle powder in the dressing. Otherwise, it was a very good salad. The grilled avocado was especially delicious.
