I'm not sure what went wrong, but my salad turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much vinegar.

This salad is a bit bland for my taste. I think it needs more salt and pepper.

I'm not a big fan of purple potatoes, but I really enjoyed this salad. The potatoes were cooked perfectly and the dressing was delicious.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover corn on the cob. I also added some chopped bell pepper and black beans for extra flavor.

This salad is so refreshing and flavorful! I love the combination of sweet corn, tangy red onion, and creamy avocado.

This salad was a bit too tangy for my taste, but I think that's because I used too much vinegar. Next time I'll cut back on the vinegar and add a little more sugar.

I'm always looking for new ways to use purple potatoes, and this salad is a great option. The potatoes held their shape well and added a nice pop of color to the dish.

This salad was a hit at my last potluck! The combination of corn and purple potatoes was unique and delicious, and the dressing was perfectly tangy and creamy. I'll definitely be making this again.
