MY FAVORITE AVOCADO SALAD
Tangy lime dressing is the perfect topper for this avocado salad. Toasted walnuts make for crunchy goodness, but try it with any kind of nut you like. -Ilia Kaku, North Richland Hills, Texas

Steps:
- 1. Make the dressing mix all ingredients in a shake bottle, and let sit a few hours in fridge before using or even better overnight. I think the dressing is best the next day. It gives the garlic time to infuse the oil and vinegar. Also the dressing is delicious on other salads. If refrigerating overnight. Take bottle of dressing out of fridge two hours before using. Some of the oil may have solidified. Let oil soften. Shake well to dress salad. The reason for refrigerating is the raw garlic in it.
- 2. Fry the bacon until crisp.
- 3. Chop and rinse the romaine lettuce and dry it.
- 4. Chop avocado and rub with lemon so it doesn't turn color.
- 5. Chop the red onion and dice the tomato.
- 6. Combine all vegetables and avocado in serving bowl. Sprinkle with bacon and feta cheese. Dress with the red wine dressing. Add croutons if wanted.

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 teaspoon each of salt and pepper.
- Rub vegetable oil on corn and cut sides of avocados, then season with 1/8 teaspoon 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.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use ripe avocados. Look for avocados that are dark green or black in color and slightly soft to the touch.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- To make the dressing ahead of time, simply whisk all of the ingredients together and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For a more flavorful dressing, roast the garlic cloves before adding them to the blender.
- If you don't have a blender, you can mash the avocado with a fork and then whisk in the remaining ingredients.
