  3. While the corn cools, prepare the dressing. Combine the ripe avocado, lime juice, olive oil, cilantro, garlic, salt, and pepper in a blender.
  4. Blend until smooth, adding water 1 tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
  5. In a large bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, grilled corn kernels, diced red bell pepper, sliced red onion, and diced avocado.
  6. Pour the avocado lime dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
  7. Serve immediately.

Notes

You can add grilled chicken or shrimp for extra protein. For a spicier dressing, add a pinch of chili powder or a small jalapeño.
