Ingredients:

2 cups mayonnaise
1 cup milk
1 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
a few dashes hot sauce, or to taste
1 clove garlic, grated
salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 ears corn, shucked
3 heads green leaf lettuce, torn into chunks
2 cups halved red grape tomatoes
1/2 red onion, diced
1 cup grated monterey jack cheese
2 cups crushed-up tortilla chips

Directions:

For the dressing: Mix together the mayonnaise, milk, sour cream, parsley, cilantro, chili powder, cumin, hot sauce, garlic and salt and pepper to taste in a medium bowl. Set aside.

For the salad: Prepare a grill pan or grill for medium-high heat. Grill the corn until nice and golden, with good grill marks on the kernels, 10 to 12 minutes. Allow to cool a bit, then cut the kernels off the cobs.

Add all the salad ingredients to a bowl in layers: first the lettuce, followed by the tomatoes, corn, red onions, cheese and tortilla chips.

Pour the dressing into a small serving bowl and serve alongside the salad.
