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:

• 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:

• 1. Make the dressing. Add all of the ingredients to the bowl of your food processor with the blade attachment. Process until smooth. Set aside. 2. Pre-heat your grill to high. Add the corn and cook on all sides until some of the kernels have started to blacken, about 5-8 minutes total. Remove the corn from the grill and set aside to cool slightly. Once the corn is cool enough to handle, cut the kernels off the cob and place them in a medium bowl. 3. Cut the avocado in half. Remove and discard the seed. Scoop the avocado flesh from the peel and dice it. Add the diced avocado, basil, ¼ tsp. salt, ¼ tsp. pepper and 1 tablespoon of the dressing to the bowl with the corn, stirring gently to combine. Set aside. 4. Drizzle the cut side of the romaine lettuce with about 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper. Add the romaine to the grill, cut side down, and cook for 1-2 minutes. Then flip the romaine and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Remove from the grill. 5. To serve, place the grilled romaine on a plate, cut side up, and drizzle with some of the dressing. Top with the corn-avocado mixture. Drizzle with additional dressing, if desired. Serve immediately.

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:

• For dressing, place the first seven ingredients in a blender; cover and process until blended., In a large bowl, combine the romaine, tomatoes, cheese, olives and onions. Pour dressing over salad; toss to coat. Sprinkle with corn chips.
