(Recipe somewhat reverse engineered from a restaurant)
1 head romaine lettuce 3-4 roma tomatoes, seeded 3 ears corn, grilled and cut off the cob 2 boneless chicken breasts, seasoned with S&P, grilled 4 strips bacon, cooked well and crumbled 3 corn tortillas, cut up into little strips, fried in the bacon fat until crispy 3 oz blue cheese crumbles 1 avocado, peeled/seeded
Cut everything up into little pieces.
Dressing: Juice of one orange Juice of one grapefruit A squeeze of honey 2 tbsp rice vinegar 2 tbsp olive oil 1/4 cup minced shallots S&P
Mix all of that together in a blender or shake it or whatever.
Drizzle a little at a time over the salad, toss, repeat until everything's coated.
Serve with grilled garlic toast.
Serves 2-3 or maybe even 4 as an entree, depending on how hungry everyone is.

One of my favorite summer salads is a bbq chicken salad with several of the same ingredients Romaine, corn, black beans, avocado, tomatoes, tortilla strips, chicken breast with a little KCMasterpiece bbq sauce on it and shredded monterrey jack cheese (optional). I cheat with the dressing and use a Spicy Ranch dressing made by Hidden Valley.

How do you make it? does it involve aluminum foil, or do I just plunk the bread down on the grill?
We're using charcoal bricks, btw.

5. I've just buttered and grilled french bread, then spread roasted garlic |
|
on it.
You could probably also make garlic bread the traditional way, wrap in foil and let it bake for a bit on the grill.

My family and I had this for dinner last night and it was great. I especially loved the citrus dressing, yum! Needless to say I'll be having this a lot more often.
