GRILLED LETTUCE, CORN & BLACK BEAN CHOP SALAD

Sweet corn and black beans are two ingredients that pack a powerful energy punch. This salad really works well with some creamy avocado on the side for another texture dimension.

SERVES 2

FOR THE SALAD

2 corn cobs (ears of corn), husks removed

200g (7oz/1⅓ cups) canned black beans, drained and rinsed

1 celery stick, trimmed and thinly sliced

1 baby cos or gem (Bibb) lettuce, quartered lengthways

½ tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

100g (3½oz) cherry tomatoes, halved

1 ripe avocado, pitted, peeled and sliced

FOR THE CORIANDER YOGHURT DRESSING

140g (5oz/generous ½ cup) full-fat, natural Greek yoghurt, or yoghurt of your choice

2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice

3 coriander sprigs (cilantro), leaves picked and finely chopped

sea salt and cracked black pepper

TO SERVE

1 tablespoon pine nuts/kernels or cashews, toasted

2 lime wedges

Preheat a ridged griddle (char-grill) pan over high heat and cook the corn cobs for 10–12 minutes, turning regularly. (You can also do this on a barbecue.) Slice the charred kernels off the cob by placing a fork in one end of the cob and standing it up on the other end. Use a sharp knife to carefully slice down the side of the cob between the husk and corn kernels. Place the corn kernels, black beans and celery in a mixing bowl and toss to combine.

Brush the lettuce with the olive oil and cook on the same griddle pan for 2 minutes each side or until charred.

To make the coriander yoghurt dressing, put the yoghurt, lime juice and coriander in a bowl and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper.

Divide the charred lettuce between 2 serving plates, top with the corn and bean mixture, then add the tomatoes and avocado, and the coriander and yoghurt dressing. To serve, sprinkle with the toasted pine nuts or cashews and add a wedge of lime alongside. Enjoy immediately.
