SWEET AND SPICY BBQ CHICKEN WITH CORN SALAD

Steps:

• To make the smoothies, combine 2 cups of the yogurt, 2 cups ice, 1 cup of the mango and all of the honey in a blender, and blend until very smooth. Divide among four glasses and refrigerate until ready to serve. Rinse out the blender.
• Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Combine the remaining 1 cup mango, 1/4 cup water, 1/4 cup of the vinegar, the raisins, olive oil, cayenne, tomatoes and garlic in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover with a piece of plastic wrap and microwave until the tomatoes are soft, about 3 minutes. Let cool slightly and puree in a blender. Transfer to a small bowl. Set aside 2 tablespoons for the dressing, the rest will be used for tossing with the chicken.
• Place the corn on the grill, cover and cook, turning as needed, until nicely charred, about 10 minutes. Remove and keep warm.
• Turn the grill down to medium and brush the grates with some of the oil. Toss the chicken thighs with half of the remaining sauce and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Arrange on the grill and cook until nicely marked and the internal temperature registers 170 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, 8 to10 minutes per side. Baste a few times with the remaining sauce while grilling.
• While the chicken cooks, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons yogurt, the reserved 2 tablespoons sauce, the remaining 1 tablespoon vinegar, 1 tablespoon water and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Toss the mixed greens and carrots together. Divide the chicken, corn and salad among four dinner plates. Drizzle the greens with the reserved dressing. Serve each plate with a mango smoothie.

SPICY GRILLED CORN SALAD

Steps:

• Whisk together the lime juice, cumin, and chili powder in a small bowl. Continue whisking while slowing pouring in the olive oil in a slow, steady stream to make a vinaigrette.
• Prepare a medium hot grill (about 350 degrees F).
• Brush the corn with olive oil. Place the ears on the grill and cook, turning the ears often, until lightly charred and tender, about 12 minutes.
• Let the corn cool enough to handle. Cut the kernels off the cobs and place kernels in a large bowl.
• Add the tomatoes, onion, jalapeno, cilantro, feta, and vinaigrette. Toss to combine ingredients and coat with the vinaigrette. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Serve immediately or let set for 1 hour for flavors to develop. Alternatively, chill and serve cold or bring to room temperature before serving.
