Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, pepper, oregano, honey, and lime juice. Let rest for 10 minutes.
  2. Prep your vegetables: slice the corn, halve the cherry tomatoes, and thinly slice the red onion. Cut the avocado into chunks last.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper, grill for 6-7 minutes per side until cooked through. Grill corn for 3-5 minutes.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, place romaine as the base. Add corn, tomatoes, red onion, and avocado. Toss gently.
  5. Drizzle dressing over the salad and toss carefully to coat without breaking the avocado.
  6. Slice rested chicken and arrange on top of the salad.
  7. Serve immediately while chicken is warm and salad is fresh.
