Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place potatoes into a large pot with enough lightly salted water to cover. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until tender yet still firm, about 20 minutes. Drain, cool, and cut into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

Whisk olive oil, Dijon mustard, and garlic together in a large salad bowl until well combined. Add cooled potatoes, cabbage, red onion, bell peppers, cucumber, kidney beans, and corn; mix with your hands until vegetables are well coated. Gently stir in Romano cheese; season with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Chill salad in the refrigerator before serving, about 1 hour.
