How to make it
- Remove husks and silks from corn. Snap each ear of corn crosswise into 2 or 3 pieces. Set a 1-gallon sealable plastic bag in a large, shallow bowl; place corn and tomato pieces in bag. Pour in salad dressing. Seal bag and let vegetables stand for 20 minutes or refrigerate for 4 to 24 hours, turning bag once or twice.
- Meanwhile, slightly mash the avocado with a fork in a cup or small bowl. Stir in the butter, the 1 teaspoon chili powder or ground red pepper, and the salt. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour.
- Using a slotted spoon, remove corn from marinade. Insert skewer into cut end of each piece of corn by pressing each piece firmly against the preparation surface. Use a turning motion to carefully twist the skewers down the center of the corn cob. Sprinkle each corn skewer with additional chili powder, if desired.
- Place corn on the rack of the grill directly over medium-high heat. Grill for 5 to 10 minutes, turning once.
- Serve corn with chili-avocado butter and the marinated tomatoes on the side.
