New Recipe!

I created a "salad" to go with dinner last night (grilled chicken), based loosely on a recipe found in this month's issue of InStyle magazine...however I didn't like a few of the ingredients (yeah, i'm a picky eater!)... so I made some substitutions, and paul LOVED it.  Here's my recipe if you like!


Grilled Corn Salad


2 ears of corn
1 avocado, cubed
2 tbs cilantro, chopped
1/4 small red onion, chopped
1 lime, juiced
2 tbs olive oil
big pinch of salt
pepper to taste


1.  soak the ears of corn in a bowl of water for 10-15 minutes.  peel back husks, remove silk, and pull husks back over to cover corn while cooking
2.  grill corn for 5 minutes over moderately hot fire.  I then pulled back the husks and rolled the corn around over high heat because I like little burnt kernels
3.  remove corn from grill, and when they're cool enough to handle, peel off husks.  scrape kernels off cobs and place in a large bowl
4.  toss with remaining ingredients
5.  enjoy!
