Cos, Grilled Avocado, and Smoky Corn Salad with Chipotle-Caesar Dressing

This grilled avocado and smoky corn salad offers a contemporary, vegetarian twist on the classic Caesar. By charring the avocados and corn on a hot griddle pan or barbecue, you introduce a deep, smoky complexity that perfectly complements the crisp romaine lettuce. The dressing swaps traditional anchovies for spicy chipotle chillies in adobo, providing a rich heat that lingers beautifully on the palate alongside the zesty lime and savoury parmesan.

Ideal for a light summer lunch or a sophisticated side dish at a garden party, this recipe is as nutritious as it is flavourful. The healthy fats from the avocado and the fibre-rich sweetcorn make it a satisfying standalone meal, while the punchy dressing ensures every bite is full of character. Serve it immediately while the grilled elements are still warm for the best contrast in texture and temperature.
