• vinaigrette (Cilantro Vinaigrette)
• 3 avocados, ripe
• 1 lemon
• 1 head red leaf lettuce, leaves separated, washed and dried
• 12 head romaine lettuce, leaves separated, washed and dried

• 8 slices bacon, cooked crisp and coarsely crumbled (optional)

• fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish

1. Run hot water over corn in a colander until thawed.
2. In a bowl, toss the corn with 2 tablespoons of whichever vinaigrette you are using and chill.
3. Pit and peel the avocados, then cut into a fine dice.
4. Juice the lemon and toss avocados with the juice to keep them from darkening.
5. Arrange a few whole lettuce leaves on 4 chilled salad plates or on a large chilled platter.
6. Tear remaining greens into bite-size pieces, combine with cabbage and mound on top of whole leaves.
7. Scatter corn, onion, tomatoes, avocados, jicama and bacon over greens.
