Ingredients List
- 2 ears sweet corn on the cob
- 4 Romaine lettuce leaves, washed and chopped
- 2 handfuls baby spinach leaves, chopped
- 1/2 cup shredded cooked chicken
- 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
- 2 scallions, chopped
- 1/4 cup Feta cheese (optional)
- For the Dressing:
- 2/3 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon apricot preserves
- 1 Tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- Juice from 1 large lemon
Directions
For the Corn:
Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the ears of corn, cover and boil for 8 minutes. Remove the corn from the water and pat to dry. Char corn on a hot grill or directly over an open flame on a gas stove. Turn the ear of corn to char each side, just for a few seconds each side. Cut the corn off the cob and into a bowl. Cool in the refrigerator as you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
For the Salad:
Toss the lettuce, spinach, chicken, bell pepper, scallions and cheese into a large bowl. Add the cooled corn.
For the Dressing:
In a small bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients until fully blended. Pour desired amount over the salad bowl and toss to coat. Reserve remaining dressing for later use.
