GRILLED WEDGE SALAD

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Cut the lettuce into 4 wedges. Brush the wedges with olive oil.

GRILLED WEDGE SALAD SKEWERS

Steps:

• Combine the blue cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, buttermilk and vinegar in a small bowl and stir until well combined. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Preheat a grill or grill pan for cooking over medium-high heat. Thread a few pieces of lettuce onto a skewer, followed by a cherry tomato; repeat twice so that you have three lettuce clusters and three cherry tomatoes on the skewer. Repeat with the remaining skewers.
• Brush both sides of the skewers with the oil and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.
• Grill until lightly charred, turning once, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Arrange the skewers on a platter and drizzle with the blue cheese dressing. Serve immediately.

GRILLED ICEBERG WEDGES WITH BUTTERMILK-BASIL DRESSING

Steps:

• Light a grill and preheat for at least 10 minutes or preheat a grill pan. In a medium skillet, cook the bacon over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until browned and crisp but still slightly chewy, about 5 minutes. (You could do this in a cast-iron skillet right over the grill).
• In a medium bowl, whisk the buttermilk with the sour cream, vinegar and basil. Season with salt and pepper.
• Brush the cut sides of the iceberg wedges with oil and season with salt. Grill over moderately high heat until the edges are browned and grill marks form, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn to brown the other cut side, 1 to 2 minutes longer.
• Transfer the wedges to a platter and drizzle with half of the dressing. Sprinkle with the bacon and serve, passing the remaining dressing at the table.

GRILLED CORN SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat; lightly oil the grate.
• Cook the corn on the preheated grill, turning occasionally, until the corn is tender and specks of black appear, about 10 minutes; set aside until just cool enough to handle. Slice the kernels off of the cob and place into a bowl.
• Combine the warm corn kernels with the green pepper, diced tomato, onion, cilantro, and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper; toss until evenly mixed. Set aside for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to blend before serving.
