To whomever it was that asked for this recipe, here is my best effort to put it down on paper, as it were. I do not know the person's name as they didn't sign their message to the list, and only their email address appears in the from field. This may not be exactly what I made last summer, but it will be very close. I suggest making the dressing first as it needs time for the flavors to come together. Grill the corn at the same time you grill the chicken if you are using corn on the cob. You can make the chicken as I did below, or you can marinate it in any number of appropriate marinades. You could even create your own rub, or, simply use salt and pepper. The important thing is that it be grilled outdoors over a fire that will generate the smoky flavor and char on the meat that you really want. Jon Jon's Southwest-style Grilled Chicken Salad Serves 4 as a main course FOR THE DRESSING: 1 packet Hidden Valley buttermilk Ranch salad dressing mix 1 cup mayonnaise 1 cup milk 1 teaspoon ground cumin 3/4 teaspoon chili powder 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, optional 1/2 teaspoon ground chipotle powder, optional 1 teaspoon coarsely-ground black pepper Juice from 1 large lime FOR THE CHICKEN: 3 to 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, trimmed 1 teaspoon chili powder 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1 teaspoon coarsely-ground black pepper 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder FOR THE SALAD: 1 large head romaine lettuce, washed and torn into bite-size pieces 12 cherry or grape tomatoes, cut in half 2 ears sweet yellow corn, grilled and kernels cut from ears 1 can (15 oz.) black beans, drained 2 large avocados, peeled, pitted, and cut into medium chunks 3 to 4 scallions, sliced thin (white and green parts) 1 large cucumber, peeled and cut into medium chunks 1 cup fresh whole cilantro leaves corn tortilla chips, store-bought or homemade, for garnish 1. To make the dressing: Combine the mayonnaise and milk in a medium bowl and whisk to smooth out. Add the contents of the packet and the remaining spices and whisk until smooth and well-combined. Stir in the lime juice. Cover and refrigerate until needed. 2. For the chicken: Dry the chicken as best you can with paper towels. Combine the spices for the chicken and rub the mixture all over each chicken breast. Grill the chicken over a medium-hot fire until done, but not overcooked. The juices should run clear and the internal temperature of the thickest part of the chicken should be 160 degrees on an instant-read thermometer. Remove the chicken to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm. 3. To assemble the salad: Arrange the romaine lettuce on each of four large plates. Divide the remaining salad ingredients evenly between the plates, then arrange the chicken on top. Garnish with a few tortilla chips or strips for each plate and serve immediately with the yummy dressing, allowing each person to dress their own salad. Serve with crusty, warm, buttered sourdough bread.
