Categories     Salad     Vegetable

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup grated parmesan
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced canned chipotle chiles in adobo
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 ears of corn, shucked
2 firm-ripe 6- to 8-oz avocados, halved and pitted but not peeled
1 head romaine (1 lb), tough outer leaves discarded and head quartered lengthwise, then cut crosswise into 1-inch strips

Steps:

  • Prepare grill for direct-heat cooking over hot charcoal (high heat for gas); see "Grilling Procedure." Put parmesan in a medium bowl and add olive oil in a slow stream, whisking. Whisk in lime juice, garlic, chipotles, and 1/4 tsp each of salt and pepper. Rub vegetable oil on corn and cut sides of avocados, then season with 1/8 tsp each of salt and pepper. Grill avocados, cut sides down, and corn, covered only if using a gas grill, turning corn occasionally, until golden-brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Peel avocados and thinly slice. Cut corn kernels from cobs. Toss romaine with dressing and serve topped with avocado and corn. Cooks' note: Corn and avocados can be grilled, in batches if necessary, in a lightly oiled hot grill pan over medium-high heat

Tips:

  • Use a mature head of romaine lettuce. Younger heads will be too tender and will wilt easily on the grill.
  • Grill the romaine lettuce over medium heat. This will help to prevent it from burning.
  • Keep an eye on the lettuce while it is grilling. It will only take a few minutes per side to cook.
  • Make the Caesar dressing while the lettuce is grilling. This will give the flavors time to meld.
  • Toss the grilled romaine lettuce with the Caesar dressing immediately after it comes off the grill. This will help to distribute the dressing evenly and prevent the lettuce from wilting.
  • Serve the grilled romaine Caesar salad immediately. It is best enjoyed when it is fresh and warm.

Conclusion:

Grilled romaine Caesar salad is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a summer meal. The grilled romaine lettuce adds a smoky flavor to the salad, while the Caesar dressing is creamy and tangy. This salad is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
