This is one of my favorite summer salads. I love the smokey spiciness of the chipotle dressing combined with the chili-lime rub. Slice the steak crosswise and arrange on the greens with the corn salad on top and a drizzle of the dressing on top. This pairs perfectly with our Family Estate Graciano.
