- 1 ½ tsp kosher salt, divided
- 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper, divided
- ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 2 ears shucked corn
- 2 (½ inch-thick) red onion slices
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
- 2 cups olives

- 1 cup thinly sliced cucumber
- 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes
- ½ ripe avocado, cut into thin wedges
- 1 cup halved broccoli

Procedure:
- Preheat the oven to 300°. Combine first 4 ingredients and 1/2 teaspoon of each salt and pepper in a bowl. Gradually whisk in ½ cup oil in a slow, steady stream.
- Toss broccoli in the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil; arrange on a wire rack placed on a baking sheet. Sprinkle broccoli with ½ teaspoon salt. Roast for about 20 minutes or until broccoli is slightly browned, then let it cool.
- Preheat the grill to high heat. Coat corn and red onion slices with cooking spray. Place on a grill rack coated with cooking spray. Cook for 12 minutes or until charred, turning occasionally. Remove from the grill. Cut kernels from corn; discard cobs.
- Sprinkle chicken with remaining 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Grill chicken 12 minutes or until cooked through, turning occasionally; let stand 5 minutes. Thinly slice chicken across the grain.
- In a large bowl, add the lettuce, then add 2 tablespoons of dressing; toss to coat. Top with cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, chicken, corn, roasted broccoli halves, olives and avocado. Sprinkle salad evenly with basil leaves, and serve with remaining dressing.
