Chopped Summer Salad

Who doesn’t love a chopped salad? And with the surprising sweetness of watermelon thrown in, this was perfect!  Made a ton and it kept very well for a couple of days.

Chopped Summer Salad with Creamy Lime Dressing

• 1 small seedless watermelon, peeled and chopped small
• 4 avocados, peeled, seeded, chopped small
• 1 2 lb. bag of frozen corn, thawed
• 2 english cucumbers, chopped
• 1 16 oz. can black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 bunch Italian flat leaf parsley, chopped fine
• 1.5 hearts of Romaine Hearts, chopped

Combine all the above in a large container.

For the dressing:

• 2 cups yogurt
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 T. mayo
• the juice of one lime
• 4 T. heavy cream (more or less)
• slat and pepper to taste

Whisk everything but the heavy cream together.  Slowly add the cream and whisk until the dressing has a pourable consistency.

Pour over salad and gently toss to combine.  Refrigerate for at least an hour. Serve. Salt and pepper to taste.
