Baby spring greens mix

1 teaspoon garlic, minced (1 clove is fine)
¼ teaspoon salt (more as desired)
Pinch of fresh ground black pepper

Instructions:
Char the Corn:
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Husk the corn and place the ears on the grill. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the corn is charred and cooked through. Remove from the grill and let cool slightly. Once cool, cut the kernels off the cob and set aside.

Make the Dressing:
In a blender or food processor, combine the fresh cilantro, plain yogurt, ripe avocado, lime juice, white wine vinegar, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and water. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Assemble the Salad:
On a large serving platter or individual plates, layer the baby spring greens mix and butter lettuce. Top with the corn and tomato mixture. Drizzle the cilantro dressing over the salad.
Serve:
Serve immediately and enjoy this fresh and flavorful summer salad!
