      3    Romaine hearts; trimmed,

      3    Fresh ears of corn; shucked,
           - kernels removed from cobs

      1 c  Chopped cilantro; leaves &
           - tender stems
      2 c  Lime tortilla chips;
           - crumbled (optional)

  Dressing:

  In a large measuring cup, whisk all of the dressing ingredients
  together to combine. Season with 3/4 ts salt and 1/2 ts pepper.
  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.

  Yield: 1-1/4 Cups

  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.
