Mom’s Recipe – Corn Salad

*One of Mary Myrick’s best recipes*

Ingredients:

  • 1 (11 oz.) can whole kernel yellow corn, drained
  • 1 (11 oz.) can white shoepeg corn, drained
  • 1 green onion, chopped fine
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped
  • 1 (4 oz.) jar pimentos, drained well and chopped fine
  • 1/2 med. green pepper, chopped
  • 1/8 tsp. salt
  • 1/8 tsp. pepper
  • 1/8 tsp. Cajun seasoning
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup vinegar

In a large bowl, mix the vegetables together. In a small bowl, mix together the remaining ingredients and pour over the vegetable mixture. Cover and refrigerate for 24 hours or, at least, overnight. Serve cold.

You can use the 15-16 oz. cans of the corn.

If you do not have the Cajun seasoning, you could substitute a combination of red pepper, garlic powder and paprika to make 1/8 tsp. or to taste.

Welcome to my online home since 2004. I blog a bit about my life as it happens, my work as I am permitted, and occasional throwback entries. When I'm not writing new posts, I actively curate this blog, improving the wording or adding new media to old posts, and finally finishing old drafts I've left sitting for years. It is not my intention to be a source of news or content. I don’t have anything to sell, and I’m not trying to get likes/shares/follows. This site is an autobiographical effort - imperfections and all. My life, remembered in my words, my way.
