Grilled Romaine Salad With Corn And Avocado Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium-high.
• Rub the corn and jalapeno with the oil and grill, turning occasionally, until tender and charred in spots, about 6 minutes for the jalapeno and 12 minutes for the corn. Cut the kernels from the corn cobs and place them in a large bowl. Add the avocado and romaine to the bowl.
• Stem and seed the grilled jalapeno. Combine the jalapeno, mayonnaise, buttermilk, parsley, chives, lemon juice, dill, anchovy, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a blender and blend until smooth.
• Add just enough of the dressing to coat the salad; season with salt. Toss gently to combine.

Steps:

• In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the corn for 3 minutes until the starchiness is just gone. Drain and immerse the corn in ice water to stop the cooking and to set the color. When the corn is cool, cut the kernels off the cob, cutting close to the cob, and place them in a large bowl.
• Toss the avocados with the lemon juice and add them to the bowl with the corn. Add the tomatoes, red peppers, onion, jalapeno peppers and lime zest to the bowl.
• Whisk the lime juice, olive oil, 2 teaspoons kosher salt, black pepper, garlic, and cayenne pepper together in a small bowl and pour over the vegetables. Toss well. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.

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 teaspoon each of salt and pepper.
• Rub vegetable oil on corn and cut sides of avocados, then season with 1/8 teaspoon 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.

Steps:

• Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high. Brush corn, scallions and jalapeño with the oil and season with salt and pepper. Arrange on the grill and cook, turning occasionally, until corn kernels are browned in spots, 6 to 8 minutes, and the scallions and jalapeño are charred all over and tender, 9 to 10 minutes. Transfer vegetables to a cutting board and let cool slightly.
• In a medium bowl, using a whisk, mash the feta into a coarse paste. Whisk in buttermilk, lemon zest and juice and garlic, then stir in chives and parsley. Finely chop the charred jalapeño and stir it into the feta dressing; season with salt and pepper.
• In a large bowl, toss lettuce with half the feta dressing and arrange on a platter. Cut corn kernels off the cob and slice scallions into bite-size pieces. Arrange avocado slices, corn and scallions on top of the lettuce. Serve with remaining dressing.

Steps:

• In a bowl combine the romaine, corn, and cherry tomatoes.
• Add 3/4 cup of avocado. Place the remaining avocado in a blender along with 1/3 cup water, lime juice, and chili powder; season with salt and pepper.
• Pour dressing over the salad; toss gently.
