Provided by Molly Yeh

Categories side-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1/2 large avocado
1/4 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup mayonnaise
Juice of 1 lemon (about 1/4 cup juice)
1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh chives, plus more for garnish
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill, plus more for garnish
1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves, plus more for garnish
4 ears corn
1 orange (or red or yellow) bell pepper, cut into planks
8 ounces fresh green beans, ends trimmed and snapped in half
5 teaspoons olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 romaine hearts, roughly chopped
8 cherry tomatoes, quartered
1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced

Steps:

For the avocado ranch dressing: Add the avocado, buttermilk, mayonnaise, lemon juice, chives, dill and parsley to the jar of a blender and puree until smooth and bright green. Set aside.
For the salad: Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Drizzle each ear of corn, peppers and green beans with olive oil, then sprinkle with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Add the vegetables to the grill in a single layer. Grill on all sides until char marks begin to appear, a few minutes. Remove vegetables from the grill and set aside. When the corn is cool enough to handle, slice kernels off the cob.
Put the romaine into a large salad bowl along with the cherry tomatoes, onions, green beans, corn, peppers, 1 teaspoon salt and a generous amount of black pepper. Drizzle all of the dressing over the top and toss until well combined. Sprinkle with more chives, dill and parsley before serving, if desired.
