  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp oregano
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1/3 cup rice vinegar
  • 1/3 cup cilantro
  • 2 cloves garlic, ends removed
  • Garden Chopped Salad Ingredients
  • 2 avocados, diced
  • 4 ears Utah sweet corn, shucked

  • 1 (15 oz) can low-sodium chili beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 red onion, diced
  • 2 (10 oz) packs cherry or grape tomatoes, halved

DIRECTIONS:

Combine all vinaigrette ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth. Set aside. 

Blister the corn on a grill or gas range until lightly charred on all sides. Hold the corn upright in a large salad bowl and use downward cuts with a paring knife to cut the kernels off the cob into the bowl.

Fill your salad bowl with chopped romaine, then add the remaining salad ingredients.
