Bean and Corn Salad

If you come to visit me tomorrow, This is what I will be offering you.  I made this bowl full for an R.S. activity tonight and very little was eaten.  I hope it wasn't because the ladies found it yucky, I'm sure it was because most had eaten dinner and other things were probably more tempting to taste.  I happen to like it but have only made it once before.  No one would eat it in my family except my husband and I.  Also it makes a ton.


I got this recipe from my Mother in law.  I never cared for bean salad before I tasted this version.  I like the fresh vegetables in it and would try fresh green beans if I had any.  The onions are from my garden of course and as such are a little more strong.  I leave out some of the sugar, I don't care for it too sweet.    I also tossed in some garbanzo beans for fun.  The dressing also makes it's own ton and half would be enough probably.  I added a little extra other ingredients and still had soup at the bottom of the bowl. 

I like this salad, the vinegar is probably what does this for me.  I suppose it is just if you like this sort of thing whether you would enjoy it also.  Drop on by and have a sample.  I'll never be able to eat it all that is for sure.
