My friend Anne, whom I first met in sixth grade, gave me this recipe. Whenever I'm invited to a potluck and a salad is needed, I make a double batch. There are seldom any leftovers! This is also my favorite recipe to share.

Ingredients

1 can (16 ounces) tiny green peas, drained
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) French-style green beans, drained
1 can (7 ounces) white or shoepeg corn, drained
1 medium onion, finely chopped
3/4 cup finely chopped celery
2 tablespoons chopped pimientos, optional
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup white wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper

Directions

In a large bowl, combine peas, beans, corn, onion, celery and pimientos. In a saucepan, combine remaining ingredients; heat and stir until sugar dissolves. Pour over the vegetables. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

If Cooking for Two: Salad will keep for several days stored in a covered container in the refrigerator.

Tangy and slightly sweet, but very refreshing. Several of us asked for the recipe from our co-worker for our Christmas lunch today!

Delicious! I didn't have shoe peg corn so I used regular. Next time I will use shoe peg because I like it a lot.
