GRILLED CORN AND AVOCADO SALAD WITH FETA DRESSING



Grilled Corn and Avocado Salad With Feta Dressing image

This lively salad of corn, scallions, jalapeño and avocado tossed with a tangy buttermilk-feta dressing is like summer on a plate. The sweetness of peak-summer corn and the richness of creamy avocado balance out the tartness of the dressing. To choose the perfect corn, make sure that the corn husk is bright green and slightly dewy to the touch, and that the silks peeking out at the top are yellow, not browned. Finally, the corn should be heavy for its size: the heavier the corn, the plumper the kernels.

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 ears corn (about 3 pounds), shucked and silk removed
1 bunch scallions (about 6), trimmed
1 jalapeño, stemmed and halved lengthwise
3 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled (about 3/4 cup)
1/3 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest plus 1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 small garlic clove, grated
1/4 cup sliced fresh chives
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
1 medium head romaine lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces (about 8 cups)
2 avocados, sliced

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.

Time 45m

Yield Serves 8 to 10

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 slices bacon (about 6 ounces), coarsely chopped
4 ears corn, husks and silk removed, snapped in half
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 scallions, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 small clove garlic
4 anchovy fillets in oil
1/2 cup packed fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
4 teaspoons distilled white vinegar
2 avocados, peeled, pitted, and cut into a 1/2-inch dice
5 radishes, halved and thinly sliced (1 cup)
3 hearts of romaine, cut into bite-size pieces (12 cups)

Steps:

  • Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to paper towels. Meanwhile, cook corn in a large pot of generously salted boiling water just until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Drain. When cool enough to handle, cut kernels from cobs; let cool completely.
  • In a food processor, pulse scallions, garlic, anchovies, and basil until finely chopped. Add mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, 2 tablespoons water, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; purée until smooth. Transfer to a large bowl. Add avocados, stirring to fully coat in dressing. Top with corn and radishes, then romaine and bacon. Cover and refrigerate up to 8 hours. Toss to combine and evenly coat in dressing (or shake vigorously, if using a bowl with a resealable lid) just before serving.
