Ingredients
-
2
fully ripened avocados from Mexico, halved, pitted and peeled
-
2 tablespoons
lime juice
-
1 teaspoon
chili powder
-
1/4 teaspoon
salt
-
4
ears fresh super sweet corn, husk and silk removed
-
2 cups
diced cooked chicken (about 10 ounces)
-
1 cup
halved grape or cherry tomatoes
-
1/4 cup
sliced radishes
-
Spicy Salad Dressing, recipe follows
-
4 cups
mixed salad greens in bite-sized pieces
Directions
-
Preheat broiler to high. In a small cup, combine limejuice, chili powder and salt. Brush corn ears with the seasoning mixture; place on a broiler pan. Broil 6 inches from heat source until lightly browned; turn and continue broiling until barely cooked, a total of 7 to 10 minutes. Cool.
-
Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine, chicken, tomatoes and radishes. Cut each avocado into slices then cut slices in half crosswise; add to chicken mixture. Add 1/4 cup Spicy Salad Dressing; toss gently.
-
Cut two or three 1/4-inch slices from each corn ear; set aside. Cut remaining corn kernels from the cobs, by holding the ear upright in a shallow bowl so the kernels don’t scatter. Divide salad greens among 4 dinner plates.
-
Top with the chicken mixture then corn kernels. Garnish with reserved corn rounds. Serve with additional dressing, if desired. Spicy Salad Dressing: To 1/2 cup of your favorite vinaigrette dressing, add 1 teaspoon chili powder, and 1/8 teaspoon each ground cumin and ground red pepper (cayenne).
