Serves 4 as a side

Instructions:

1. Cook the bacon in a non-stick frying pan over medium–high heat for 6–8 minutes, turning occasionally until browned and crisp. Transfer to a chopping board and cut into pieces.
2. Preheat a barbecue grill to medium. Brush the corn with a little oil and cook on all sides until just charred and the kernels are tender. Remove, cool and cut off the kernels.
3. Combine the kale, tomato, avocado, corn, spring onion and chili in a large salad bowl.
4. Except for the oils, place the dressing ingredients in a small food processor and blend well. Combine the oils in a jug. With the motor running, pour in the oils in a slow steady stream until the mixture has thickened. If the dressing is too thick, just add a small amount of warm water. Season to taste.
5. Lightly toss the salad ingredients with the dressing, scattering the bacon pieces and toasted pepitas over the top.
