This is similar to a really chunky salsa that you eat as a salad. Molly is sneaking in some mayo (classic Midwesterner…) as a nod to all the elotes she and her sisters are going to eat on their vacation too. Oh yeah baby.

Directions
For the dressing: Blend the buttermilk, mayonnaise, chives, cilantro, parsley, sugar, garlic, lime juice and avocado in a blender or food processor until smooth, adding salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
For the corn and tomato salad: Heat an oiled grill, grill pan or large skillet over medium-high heat.
Oil the tomatoes, corn, lime and onion with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill the tomatoes for 8 minutes, until charred and juicy; remove to a bowl. Grill the corn, onion and lime on all sides for a few minutes, until char marks appear. Remove to a cutting board.
When cool enough to handle, cut the kernels off the cob and season with salt and pepper. Slice the onion into half-moons. Add the corn and onions to the tomatoes and toss with the oregano, red pepper flakes and the juice from one of the lime halves.
Spread the dressing on the bottom of a wide shallow bowl. Top with the veggies and sprinkle with Cotija and cilantro leaves. Garnish with other lime half.
