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