Instructions

For the Dressing

Step 1

Place all of your ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth. Store it in the fridge while you prepare the rest of the salad.

To make the salad:

Step 2

Bring a pot of water to a boil on the stove and remove the husks from your corn cobs. Once the water begins to boil, add your corn to the pot, cover it and boil for 1-2 minutes. Remove the corn from the pot and let the cobs cool completely before cutting off the kernels.

Step 3

Next, place the kale leaves in a large bowl and drizzle them with your oil and lime juice. Rub the leaves together with your hands for at least 5 minutes or until the kale begins to soften and shrinks in size.

Step 4

Then add your corn kernels, red onion, cotija cheese and avocado to the bowl and toss with your desired amount of dressing.

Step 5

Top with crushed tortilla chips right before serving and enjoy!
