Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 ounces Shoepeg corn
- 1 medium Green bell pepper
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 3 stalks Celery
- 1 small Red onion
- 0.5 cup Cider vinegar
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Drain and rinse the shoepeg corn thoroughly, then place it in a large mixing bowl.
Dice the green bell pepper, red bell pepper, celery, and red onion into small, even pieces, then add them to the bowl with the corn.
In a small saucepan, combine cider vinegar, granulated sugar, and vegetable oil. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let the dressing cool to room temperature.
Add salt and ground black pepper to the dressing, whisking to combine.
Pour the dressing over the corn and vegetable mixture. Toss everything gently to ensure it is evenly coated.
Cover and refrigerate the salad for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld. For best results, refrigerate overnight.
Before serving, toss the salad again to redistribute the dressing. Serve chilled as a side dish or light lunch.
