  5. 4 ears fresh super sweet corn, husk and silk removed

  7. 1 cup halved grape or cherry tomatoes
  8. ¼ cup sliced radishes

  3. Brush corn ears with the seasoning mixture; place on a broiler pan.
  4. Broil 6 inches from heat source until lightly browned; turn and continue broiling until barely cooked, a total of 7 to 10 minutes. Cool.
  5. Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine, chicken, tomatoes and radishes.
  6. Cut each avocado into slices then cut slices in half crosswise; add to chicken mixture. Add ¼ cup Spicy Salad Dressing; toss gently.
  7. Cut two or three ¼-inch slices from each corn ear; set aside.
  8. Cut remaining corn kernels from the cobs, by holding the ear upright in a shallow bowl so the kernels don’t scatter.

  10. Top with the chicken mixture then corn kernels.
  11. Garnish with reserved corn rounds. Serve with additional dressing, if desired.
  12. Spicy Salad Dressing: To ½ cup of your favorite vinaigrette dressing, add 1 teaspoon chili powder, and ⅛ teaspoon each ground cumin and ground red pepper (cayenne).
