Ingredients

Directions

  1. Place corn in a strainer and run cold water over it to thaw; drain well.
  2. In a large bowl, mix corn, beans, red bell pepper, green chilies, cilantro, green onions, and imitation crabmeat.

  4. Place the paste in a small bowl and whisk in vinegar, lime juice, and water.
  5. Gradually whisk in the olive oil.
  6. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and toss to combine.
  7. For the Yogurt-Cilantro Sauce: Stir together yogurt, cilantro, sugar, salt, and cayenne pepper until well combined.
  8. Serve the salad at room temperature in bowls or in lettuce cups, with the yogurt-cilantro sauce passed separately.
  9. If chilling the salad, taste and adjust seasonings before serving.
