3/4 c. canola oil
2 tsp. pureed chipotle chilies in adobo sauce
1 c. chopped fresh cilantro, stems and leaves

Directions:
In blender, combine vinegar, lime juice, garlic, chipotle chile, honey and salt and process until combined and smooth. With machine running, gradually add oil to form an emulsion. Set aside.

To assemble the salad, cut off the corn kernels from the cobs -- you should have about 2 cups. Add chicken, tomatoes, greens, cheese and black beans to the corn. Drizzle vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to coat.

Transfer salad to chilled salad plates building height in the center. Scatter pumpkin seeds over the servings. Add cilantro sprigs on top and garnish with lime wedges.
