Questions

Can I make Solterito Andean Corn and Lima Bean Salad dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in this entry is 4 oz queso fresco (or mild feta), crumbled. Swap the cheese for a plant-based melting cheese (expect a milder flavor). The richness shifts slightly, but the method does not change.

How long does Solterito Andean Corn and Lima Bean Salad keep?

Dressed, it is best the day it is made. Keep the components separate and refrigerated and they hold about two days; dress just before serving.

Can I halve or double Solterito Andean Corn and Lima Bean Salad?

Yes. As written it serves 4. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. There is no cooking pitfall here; the quantities simply scale.
