3 ears corn
1 small jalapeno
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 large avocado, peeled, pitted and chopped
1 romaine heart, chopped
3/4 cup mayonnaise

Preheat a grill to medium-high.
Rub the corn and jalapeno with the oil and grill, turning occasionally, until tender and charred in spots, about 6 minutes for the jalapeno and 12 minutes for the corn. Cut the kernels from the corn cobs and place them in a large bowl. Add the avocado and romaine to the bowl.
Stem and seed the grilled jalapeno. Combine the jalapeno, mayonnaise, buttermilk, parsley, chives, lemon juice, dill, anchovy, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a blender and blend until smooth.

Time 45m

Yield Serves 8 to 10

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 slices bacon (about 6 ounces), coarsely chopped
4 ears corn, husks and silk removed, snapped in half
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 scallions, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 small clove garlic
4 anchovy fillets in oil
1/2 cup packed fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
4 teaspoons distilled white vinegar
2 avocados, peeled, pitted, and cut into a 1/2-inch dice
5 radishes, halved and thinly sliced (1 cup)
3 hearts of romaine, cut into bite-size pieces (12 cups)

Steps:

Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to paper towels. Meanwhile, cook corn in a large pot of generously salted boiling water just until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Drain. When cool enough to handle, cut kernels from cobs; let cool completely.
In a food processor, pulse scallions, garlic, anchovies, and basil until finely chopped. Add mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, 2 tablespoons water, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; purée until smooth. Transfer to a large bowl. Add avocados, stirring to fully coat in dressing. Top with corn and radishes, then romaine and bacon. Cover and refrigerate up to 8 hours. Toss to combine and evenly coat in dressing (or shake vigorously, if using a bowl with a resealable lid) just before serving.
