How to make it

- Rub vegetable oil on corn and cut sides of avocados, then season with 1/8 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Grill avocados, cut sides down, and corn, covered only if using a gas grill, turning corn occasionally, until golden-brown, 3 to 4 minutes.

- Toss romaine with dressing and serve topped with avocado and corn.
- Cooks' note: Corn and avocados can be grilled, in batches if necessary, in a lightly oiled hot grill pan over medium-high heat.
