MMMMM---------------------------SALAD--------------------------------
      3    Romaine lettuce hearts;
           - trimmed, chopped in
           - bite-size pieces
      3    Fresh ears of corn; shucked,
           - kernels removed from cobs
      8    Radishes; halved lengthwise,
           - thin sliced in half-moons
      2 lg Ripe avocados; pitted,
           - diced
      5    Scallions; trimmed, thin
           - sliced at an angle
    1/2 c  Crumbled Cotija or grated
           - Parmesan
      1 c  Chopped cilantro; leaves &
           - tender stems
      2 c  Crumbled lime tortilla chips
           - (opt)
 
  PREPARE THE DRESSING: In a large measuring cup, whisk
  all the dressing ingredients together to combine. Season
  with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. (Makes 1
  1/4 cups. It will taste quite salty at this point, and
  that is intentional. You want it to hold up when tossed
  with a big pile of vegetables.)
  
  In a large shallow bowl or platter, toss the romaine
  with half of the following ingredients: corn, radishes,
  avocado, sliced scallions, Cotija and cilantro. Season
  to taste with salt and pepper. Add 1/2 cup dressing and
  toss to coat. Season again with salt and pepper.
  
  Top with the remaining corn, radishes, avocado,
  scallions, Cotija and cilantro, scattering the garnishes
  on top or arranging them in stripes or piles. Sprinkle
  some crumbled tortilla chips on top, if using. Drizzle
  the salad with an additional 1/4 cup dressing, and serve
  immediately, serving any remaining dressing and
  additional tortilla chips alongside.
