Ingredients:

1 Small head of Romaine Lettuce, Cleaned and Spun dry, and cut into 1 inch sized pieces

2 cups fresh corn kernels, about 3 ears worth of fresh cut corn kernels

1 cup diced Roma Tomatoes, about three ripe tomatoes

3 medium sized Avocados cut into a 1/2 inch dice

1 Jalapeno Pepper

1/4 cup chopped fresh Cilantro, plus more chopped cilantro to mix into diced mixture-to taste

1/4 cup rough chopped white onion

Course Salt

Fresh Lime

Directions:

Bring a cup and a half of water to a boil and add the jalapeno pepper. Boil until soft, about 8 minutes. Jalapeno will be a bit discolored and not as vibrant in color as a fresh pepper.

Lay the Romaine Lettuce in a bottom layer on a platter.

Cut Avocado, and Tomatoes into a dice and set aside.

Cut fresh corn kernels off the cob and add to diced tomatoes and avocado

Add boiled jalapeno, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, and a 1/3 to a 1/2 of a Avocado, with onion to a blender, Add a little bit of the hot water from the first step and blend, you want the consistency to be the same as salad dressing, not too thin, and not glob-by.

*Hint: if the blended mixture tastes a bit bitter try adding more avocado to the blender.

*Hint: you can always add more hot water if the mixture is too thick, but you can’t very well add less!

Add course salt to taste in the blended mixture and toss mixture with fresh diced tomatoes, corn, and diced avocado.

Add additional chopped cilantro to the chunky salad mixture to taste and squeeze 3/4 up to a whole fresh lime over mixture and toss to combine, at this point taste and add additional course salt to taste to the final dish.

Serve salad over the romaine lettuce on a platter, with fresh lime wedges as a garnish for additional table side sprit-zing.

*Note: the blended mixture will be concentrated in flavor, mainly from the jalapeno. Not too worry once mixed with chunky ingredients the flavor aka heat will be  dramatically, "toned down"!

Also Try....

1.) This dish can easily be accompanied by adding black beans, to the diced mixture. I begin with dried and then slow simmered but, canned black beans which have been rinsed and drained will work in a fix.

2.) Also try adding some poached, then diced chicken breast.

3.) Fresh diced mangos can also be substituted for the diced Roma tomatoes.

Serve as a side dish or main course!
