White Corn and Baby Pea Salad image

When my dad had double bypass surgery, a friend, Janet Bailey, brought over this wonderful salad, and I was hooked. So glad she shared her recipe with me!

Number Of Ingredients 13

16 oz frozen white whole kernel (shoe peg) corn, thawed
16 oz frozen baby peas, thawed
1 c chopped, peeled jicama
2/3 c chopped celery
1/2 c thinly sliced green onions
1/4 c chopped red and/or orange sweet pepper
DRESSING:
1/2 c seasoned rice wine vinegar
2 Tbsp brown sugar
1 Tbsp snipped fresh parsley (i used flakes, 1 tsp)
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground white pepper (i used black)
1 Tbsp snipped fresh basil (see notes)

Steps:

  • 1. In large mixing bowl, combine corn, peas, jicama, celery, green onions and sweet pepper. In a screw-top jar, combine the vinegar, brown sugar, parsley, salt and white pepper. Cover and shake well. Pour over the corn mixture; toss gently to coat. Stir in basil. Cover and chill 1-2 hours.
  • 2. Note: original recipe called for mint, but the neighbor prefers using basil. Janet used this with a combination of yellow and shoe peg corn, and yellow and red sweet peppers. We all enjoyed it!
  • 3. For Dad (or other people needing to control their sodium level), check sodium of the rice vinegar...
  • 4. July 2017 alterations: 12 oz frozen yellow corn, 2 cans shoe peg corn, 32 oz frozen peas, and as I ran out of rice wine vinegar I used some apple cider vinegar. I also used fresh purple basil and it was amazing!
