DRESSING:
6 tablesppoons reduced-calorie mayonnaise
3 tablespoons cilantro, fresh, finely chopped
3 tablespoons water
1 medium scallion, minced
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
SALAD:
15 ounces canned black beans, rinsed and drained
1 1/2 cups cooked corn kernels, fresh or frozen
2 cups grape tomatoes
1 medium sweet red pepper, cut into thin strips (about 1 1/2 cups)
8 cups romaine lettuce, cut into thick shreds (about 2 hearts)

Steps:

To make dressing, in a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, cilantro, water, scallion, lime juice, sugar and chili powder until smooth. Transfer to a jar or a plastic container with a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate until ready to use. In a large bowl or food storage container, layer remaining ingredients in order listed; cover and refrigerate. To serve, spoon salad ingredients into a bowl. Shake dressing and then drizzle dressing over salad; toss well to coat. Yields about 2 cups of salad and 1 1/2 tablespoons of dressing per serving. NOTE: Storing this salad in layers (instead of tossing it immediately) and keeping the dressing separate, helps to keep the salad fresh. It can be stored up to 4 days in the refrigerator.
