Preparation

• Prepare the dressing:
  Combine the mayonnaise, lime juice, crushed garlic clove, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper until you achieve a smooth sauce.
• Cut the red bell pepper and avocado into cubes. Chop the cilantro and red onion, and crumble the cotija cheese (or feta cheese). Drain the corn and kidney beans well.
  
• Pour the dressing into the bottom of the jar. Add the kidney beans on top, then the avocado. Pour about 1 Tbsp of lime juice over the avocado to prevent it from browning.

Observations

We specified the quantities in grams so you can have all the nutritional information corresponding to the recipe; you can, of course, adjust the recipe by adding more or less of each ingredient.

Cotija is a cheese that can be found in Mexico. You can replace it with feta, which has a similar crumbly texture.
