RED-LEAF LETTUCE SALAD WITH GRILLED CORN, PEACHES, AVOCADO AND WALNUTS RECIPE - (4/5)



Red-Leaf Lettuce Salad with Grilled Corn, Peaches, Avocado and Walnuts Recipe - (4/5) image

Provided by á-51103

Number Of Ingredients 15

For the Honey Vinaigrette:
2 ears corn (Note: Grilled corn adds another dimension to this salad; but if your corn is very fresh, you don't need to cook it. Shave the kernels off the cob and toss them directly into the salad)
1 large head red-leaf lettuce, washed, dried well and chopped, or torn, into bite-size pieces
Flaked sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 ripe peaches, pitted and thinly sliced
1 avocado, pitted, peeled and diced
1/2 cup toasted walnuts
1/2 cup freshly crumbled, good-quality feta cheese
3 Tbsp. honey
1/3 cup champagne, or white-wine vinegar
1/2 tsp. fine sea salt, plus more, to taste
1/8 tsp. freshly ground black pepper, plus more, to taste
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup grapeseed oil

Steps:

  • Make the vinaigrette: Whisk together the honey, vinegar, salt and pepper in a small bowl until the honey has dissolved. Continue to whisk the mixture while you stream in the oils. Adjust the salt and pepper to taste. Heat a grill to medium high. Peel away all but the innermost, light green husk of the corn. Cut or pull away the tassel of corn silk at the tip of the cob. Grill the corn until the husk starts to pull away from the tip of the corn, 8 to 10 minutes. Take the corn off the grill and set it aside to cool. Remove the remaining husk from the cooled corn and slice the kernels off the cob directly into a large bowl. Set aside 1/4 cup of corn to garnish the top of the salad. Add the lettuce to the bowl of corn with a drizzle of the vinaigrette. Continue to add vinaigrette, tossing until the greens and corn are lightly coated. Season the lettuce lightly with salt and pepper, to taste. Toss well to combine. Add the peaches, avocado, walnuts and feta, saving a small handful of each to garnish the salad. Transfer the salad to a large platter and sprinkle the reserved corn, peaches, avocado, walnuts and feta on top. Any leftover dressing will keep, covered in the refrigerator, for up to 3 weeks.

Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 ripe Mexican avocados halved, pitted and meat scooped out
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup Mexican crema, Latin-style cream, crème fraîche, or sour cream
1 garlic clove
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
1/2 teaspoon kosher or coarse sea salt, or more to taste
2 heads Boston lettuce, leaves separated, washed, dried, and torn into pieces
1/2 cup chopped candied pineapple, or other candied fruits like papaya or mango
1/2 cup spicy pumpkin seeds (recipe follows)
FOR THE PUMPKIN SEEDS (Pepitas):
1 1/2 cup hulled raw pumpkin seeds
1 tablespoon corn, safflower or vegetable oil
1 teaspoon chile piquin or ground Mexican chile, more or less to taste
1 1/2 teaspoon coarse or Kosher salt, more or less to taste
1 1/2 teaspoon sugar, more or less to taste

As they cool down, they will dry up and become crunchier. Eat or store covered with a lid. They will keep for about a week, if you don't finish them before then.
