Steps:
- Cut off tops from the bell peppers and take out the seeds. Mince both red and orange bell peppers and add them to the mixing bowl. Mince red onion and parsley and add it to the bowl too. Add spices.
- To grill corn:
- Prepare your charcoal until it's ashed over. Move it to one half of the grill so that you have a cooler grill side and a hotter grill side. Make sure the grate is clean.
- Snip the silk whiskers sticking out of the top of the corn husk but leave the rest of the corn in a husk. Lay it on the grill, with the bottom of the husk towards the cooler side of the grill. Close the grill and cook for 13-15 minutes, turning it every 3-4 minutes.
- Take corn off the grill and carefully, using tongues, take off the husk and the silk. Brush corn with melted butter and place back on the grill. Close the grill and cook, turning it every 3-4 minutes, until lightly charred on all sides.
- Take corn off the grill and cut the corn kernel off the cobs. Add corn kernel to the mixing bowl with prepared veggies.
- Mix well.
- Add grapeseed oil and mix everything until evenly incorporated.
- (**I recommend using grapeseed oil because of its smooth, mild flavor. It's beautiful in salads.)

CREOLE CAESAR SALAD
Steps:
- To prepare croutons, heat the oil in a large nonstick saute pan over medium-high heat for 1 minute. Add the bread cubes, stirring and tossing in the pan to evenly coat the bread with the oil. Sprinkle in the Cajun seasoning while stirring continuously. Toast for 5 minutes, until golden brown. Reserve for garnishing the salad.
- To make the dressing, place the anchovy and garlic into a food processor, cover, and pulse on and off several times. Add the egg, and, with the motor running, slowly add the vegetable and olive oils. Add the cheese, mustard, lemon and lime juices, water, Cajun seasoning, pepper, and salt; process briefly until ingredients are incorporated. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- In a large bowl, toss romaine with the dressing, allowing approximately 3 tablespoons of the dressing per serving. Serve on chilled salad plates; top with croutons and additional Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
- Combine all ingredients in a small bowl until thoroughly mixed. Store in an airtight container. The spice mix keeps its best flavor for about two months.

Tips:

- Be sure to cook the corn until it is tender, but not mushy. You can cook it in boiling water, on the grill, or in a steamer.
- Let the corn cool slightly before cutting it off the cob. This will make it easier to cut and will prevent the kernels from sticking to the knife.
- You can use any type of bell pepper you like in this salad, but red, orange, and yellow bell peppers will give the salad the most vibrant color.
- Be sure to chop the vegetables into small pieces so that they are easy to eat.
- You can use any type of salad dressing you like in this salad, but a Cajun-style dressing will give it the most authentic flavor.
- To make the Cajun dressing, simply whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, Creole seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.
- Be sure to taste the dressing before serving and adjust the seasonings to your liking.
- Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later.
