I love vinegar-lemony dressings, but I do crave sometimes a good creamy mayo based salad. The salad here is full of fresh flavors and bright colors. It includes torn romain lettuce, shredded red cabbage, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, black beans, corn, avocados, carrots and a creamy mayo dressing that delectably coats the veggies and ties the flavors together.
The salad is quick and easy to make and can be made in less than 20 minutes. It is great to serve a hungry crowd. Try it at your barbecue party or even at your outdoor meal. Happy eating!
If you are following a low carb diet, omit the corn and reduce the amount of carrots and beans!
