Ingredients
  

  • 1 package Fresh Express® Twisted Avocado Caesar Chopped Salad Kit® (9.7-ounce)
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 2 tablespoons yellow cornmeal
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 package frozen corn (16-ounce) thawed, drained
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil

Instructions
 

  • Mix the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add the corn, onion, and cilantro; toss to coat.
  • Mix the milk and eggs in a small bowl; add to the flour and corn mixture. Stir, just until all of the flour is incorporated; the batter will be quite thick.
  • Heat 1/2 cup oil in a large deep skillet over medium heat. Drop 1/4-cup portions of the batter into the pan, flatten slightly with the back of a spoon or a spatula. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden-brown on the bottom. Turn over with a spatula and cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden-brown. Transfer the fritters with a spatula to a paper-towel lined plate; keep warm. Continue making fritters, adding more oil as necessary.

To Make the Twisted Avocado Caesar Chopped Salad Kit®:

  • Place the Fresh Express® Twisted Avocado Caesar Chopped Salad Kits® into a large bowl; toss with half of the salad dressing. Add the toppings and toss to combine.

To Assemble:

  • Divide salad evenly on four plates. Serve with two pancakes, drizzled with remaining dressing.
