ROMAINE SALAD WITH CREAMY GARLIC DRESSING
I wish I had a nickel for every time I was either asked to make this salad for a gathering, or asked for the recipe for it! The dressing is irresistable! A good description for this is a Caesar Salad gone balistic. It travels well too; I prepare all the ingredients, except the avocado, and pack in separate containers and just assemble it when I get to my destination. So much of this can be done ahead of time that it makes this recipe an excellent choice for a dinner party. Plan on having copies of the recipe available because you will be asked for them! I found this recipe in the Sunset CookBook of Favorite Recipes II.

- Preheat the grill to medium high. Lightly brush the ears of corn and the romaine lettuce on all sides with the olive oil. Set aside.

Place the corn directly on the grill and cook for about eight minutes, turning regularly as it cooks. When ready, remove from grill and allow to cool.
- To make the dressing, combine all of the ingredients in a blender and process until smooth. If the mixture is thick, add a bit more water. Season the dressing well with salt and pepper. Keep in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
- Add the romaine hearts to the grill, sliced side down, and grill for three to four minutes until slightly charred and wilting.
- Remove from the grill and arrange on a severing platter. Cut the kernels of corn from the cob with a knife, and sprinkle over top of the romaine. Spoon the marinated tomatoes over the corn. Drizzle the salad with dressing and serve.
