CHIPOTLE CORN SALAD WITH GRILLED BACON
If there's a vegetable that loves the grill, it's corn. Caramelizing the natural sugars, adding a little bit of chipotle heat, then kissing it with a little bacon . . . the only thing I warn you is that you cannot live on this alone. You must eat other things.

Steps:
- Carefully peel back the husks from the corn without detaching them from the bottom. Remove the silk from the corn, fold the husks back around the ears, and soak the ears in water for 30 to 45 minutes.
- Weigh down the ears so they are fully submerged.
- Preheat a grill to medium-high.
- Drain the corn, open the husks, and dry the ears with paper towels. Fold the husks back over the corn and grill, turning often, for 3 to 4 minutes per side, turning 3 times.
- While the corn is grilling, grill the bacon on the other half of the grill until crispy and golden brown and the poblanos and scallions until charred. Remove all items and set aside.
- Once the corn is cool enough to handle, cut the kernels from the cob, finely dice the scallions, seed and dice the poblano, and chop the bacon into bite-size pieces, placing everything in a large bowl. Mix in the bell pepper and onion.
- Whisk together all the dressing ingredients in a medium bowl.
- Dress the salad lightly and serve.

Tips:
- Choose the right corn. Look for fresh, plump ears of corn with tightly packed kernels. Avoid ears with missing or damaged kernels.
- Roast the corn properly. Roasting the corn brings out its natural sweetness and flavor. To roast the corn, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Husk the corn and remove the silk. Brush the corn with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill the corn for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, or until the kernels are tender and slightly charred.
- Char the poblano peppers. Charring the poblano peppers gives them a smoky flavor and makes them easier to peel. To char the peppers, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the peppers on the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the skin is blackened and blistered. Remove the peppers from the grill and place them in a paper bag. Let them steam for 10 minutes, then peel and seed them.
- Make the chipotle vinaigrette ahead of time. The chipotle vinaigrette can be made up to 3 days in advance. This makes it a great option for meal prepping or for parties.
- Serve the salad warm or at room temperature. This salad is best enjoyed warm or at room temperature. If you make it ahead of time, let it come to room temperature before serving.
