Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 4 ears fresh supersweet corn husk and silk removed
  • 2 cups diced cooked chicken about 10 ounces
  • 1 cup halved grape or cherry tomatoes
  • ¼ cup sliced radishes
  • 2 fully ripened Hass avocados halved, pitted and peeled
  • Spicy Salad Dressing recipe follows
  • 4 cups mixed salad greens in bite-sized pieces

Instructions

  • Preheat broiler to high. In a small cup, combine lime juice, 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 ¼ cup Spicy Salad Dressing; toss gently.
  • Cut two or three ¼-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 ½ cup of your favorite vinaigrette dressing, add 1 teaspoon chili powder, and ⅛ teaspoon each ground cumin and ground red pepper (cayenne).

  • Corn cobbs always have an even number of rows.
  • Corn contains fiber, potassium, vitamin C, Vitamin A, protein, and carbohydrates for energy.
  • Native Americans taught early settlers how to make various corn dishes including cornbread, corn pudding, corn soup, and fried corn cakes.
