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


Link to the recipe

Although this ended up being a good salad, I started my experiment off on the wrong foot by completely forgetting to add the chipotle peppers. I put them in the microwave to thaw (because I keep leftover chipotles in the freezer) and I never got them out. I also forgot to add one of the avocados, but for two people, one avocado was fine. (This absentmindedness can be attributed to the fact that Melina was running around outside unattended, and Jeff was loudly sorting through the recyling in the kitchen while I was cooking.) The recipe said this would take 40 minutes, but it only took 20. It was a fine summer salad, but I think with the addition of chipotle it would be much better. I will make it again later in the summer with all of the ingredients.
