Repost of an absolute favorite! Seriously make this! @MishkaMakesFood

Ingredients

• 1 can White Beans (drained and rinsed)
• 1 bag Frozen Corn (approx. 12‑oz; can be charred under broiler or with torch for extra flavor)
• 1 bunch Fresh Cilantro (roughly chopped)
• 1 tablespoon Smoked Paprika (adds smoky depth)
• 2 tablespoons Light Mayonnaise (use the clearance brand for a lighter texture)
• 2 tablespoons Greek Yogurt (optional; boosts protein but makes dressing slightly tangier)
• 1/4 cup Cotija Cheese (crumbled; adds salty creaminess)
