  • Large bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Grill the corn, turning occasionally, until lightly charred, about 8-10 minutes. Let cool slightly, then cut the kernels off the cobs.
  3. While the corn cools, prepare the dressing. Combine the avocado, lime juice, olive oil, garlic, water, salt, and pepper in a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy, adding more water if needed to reach your desired consistency.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, grilled corn kernels, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, and chopped cilantro.
  5. Pour the avocado lime dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
  6. Chill the salad for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Notes

You can add grilled chicken or shrimp for extra protein. For a spicier dressing, add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
