CHARRED CORN SALAD WITH BASIL AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• Build a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill, or heat a gas grill to high. Rub corn with 1 tablespoon oil. Grill, turning frequently, until corn is charred and heated through, 10-12 minutes. Remove from grill; when cool enough to handle, cut kernels from cobs and transfer to a large bowl. DO AHEAD: Corn can be made 3 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.
• Place onion in a strainer and rinse with cold water to mellow its flavor. Drain well. Mix onion, remaining 5 tablespoons oil, tomatoes, basil, 1/3 cup lime juice, and thyme into corn. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and more lime juice, if desired. DO AHEAD: Salad can be assembled 1 hour ahead. Let stand at room temperature.

CHARRED CORN AND ZUCCHINI SALAD

Steps:

• Remove the husks and silk from the corn cobs, and cut the stems off. Brush the surface of the corn with oil.
• Heat a cast iron skillet or gill pan over medium heat for at least five minutes, giving it plenty of time to build up a lot of heat. Once very hot, add the corn cobs. Allow the corn to cook, turning occasionally, until the kernels have become bright in color and some have developed deep char marks. This should take about 15 minutes total.
• While the corn is cooking, slice the zucchini in half lengthwise and the red onion into thick rings. Brush all sides of the zucchini and onion with oil.
• When the corn is finished cooking, remove it to a cutting board to cool slightly, and add the zucchini in its place. Cook the zucchini on each side until well charred (about 10 minutes total), then remove to the cutting board. Lastly, cook the onion slices until charred on each side (about 5 minutes total).
• Slice or chop the zucchini into half-rounds or quarter-rounds. Chop the onion into small pieces. Roughly chop about 1/4 cup of cilantro. Place the zucchini, onion, and cilantro in a large bow.
• Stand the corn cobs on end and use a sharp knife to carefully slice down each side to remove the kernels. Place the kernels in the bowl with the zucchini, onion, and cilantro.
• Season the vegetables with a couple generous pinches of salt and pepper, then toss to combine. Finally, crumble the feta over top and gently toss one more time to combine. Serve immediately or refrigerate for later. This salad can be served slightly warm or cold.

• Heat a griddle pan and brush with half the remaining oil and cook the chicken for 3-4 mins each side until cooked through. Brush over the remaining oil and griddle the corn cobs, turning to cook evenly, for about 5 mins or until lightly charred. Remove and cut off the kernels.
• Mix the lettuce and cucumber, top with the corn and chicken, and drizzle over your choice of dressing.

• Season both sides of chicken with salt and pepper; drizzle lightly with olive oil. Brush grates with vegetable oil.

Transfer to dish and turn to coat with lemon mixture; tent with foil. Cover grill; return to medium-high heat.

GRILLED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH GRILLED CORN AND TOMATO SALAD

CHARRED CORN, CHICKEN & TORTILLA SALAD WITH CHIPOTLE YOGURT DRESSING

Steps:

• Mix 1 tbsp paprika, the oregano, 1 tbsp chipotle, cinnamon, garlic, lime zest and 2 tbsp oil together in a bowl with some seasoning. Pour over the chicken thighs, turning to coat, then cover and chill for at least a few hours, or up to 24 hrs.
• Light the barbecue and let the flames die down, or heat a griddle pan over a high heat. Mix the yogurt, lime juice, the remaining oil, ½ tsp paprika, 1 tsp chipotle and the honey with a pinch of salt. Set aside. Brush the corn cobs with a little oil, then cook it and the marinated chicken on the barbecue or in the griddle pan for about 10 mins, turning often until the chicken is cooked through (it should be charred and firm to the touch - check it's done by cutting into one of the thickest pieces) and the corn is bright yellow and juicy.
• Transfer the chicken and corn to a board or plate and cover to keep warm. Arrange the lettuce, beans, tomatoes and avocado on a large platter or in a serving bowl, but wait to toss together until just before serving - this helps keep the lettuce leaves from wilting.
• Cut the wraps into strips or small pieces. Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan and fry the strips until crisp and golden, then drain on kitchen paper. Sprinkle with salt.
• Slice the cooked chicken into 1cm strips and cut the charred corn from the cob. Add to the salad, then drizzle over the dressing and any juice from the chicken and toss. Scatter over the coriander and crispy tortilla strips, and serve with the lime wedges on the side.

GRILLED CHICKEN AND SWEET CORN ZOODLE SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to about 400 degrees F and clean the grates or preheat a large grill pan over medium-high heat.
• While the grill or grill pan preheats, place 1 of the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and pound out to about 1/2 inch thick with a rolling pin or the flat side of a meat tenderizer. Remove and place on a rimmed baking sheet and repeat with the remaining chicken breast. Drizzle both sides of the chicken with grapeseed oil and liberally season with salt and pepper.
• Grill the chicken until you see grill marks and the chicken bounces back when you press on it, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Grill the corn at the same time, turning occasionally, until charred and bright yellow, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the zoodles with the tomatoes, olives and chopped basil in a large bowl. Once the corn is cool enough to handle, cut off the kernels and add them to the bowl.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, olive oil, Dijon, honey, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Pour over the salad and toss. Taste for seasoning, adding more salt or pepper, if needed.
• Thinly slice the chicken. Using tongs, pile the zoodle salad into a large shallow serving bowl, leaving behind any liquid in the bowl. Dollop with spoonfuls of ricotta, then top with the sliced chicken and a few basil leaves. Serve warm or at room temperature.
