Grilled Corn & Creamy Avocado Wedge Salad
Sam Muller
PUBLISHED October 6, 2025
Similar to roasting a whole cauliflower or cooking an entire chicken, it’s easy to miss potential pockets of flavor when preparing a wedge salad. Here, though, quartered iceberg lettuce will keep intact as you lift up each layer to coat every crevice with a thick and creamy dressing (in which you can use either roasted or raw jalapeño, for a more smoky or fresh flavor, respectively). Topped with grilled corn kernels, bite-sized pieces of hard boiled eggs, peppery slices of radish, and fresh dill, this salad might make you wonder how iceberg lettuce could possibly get better (well, until tomorrow night).
