Substitutions
Corn: Sweet white corn or shoepeg corn are preferred for this recipe.
Onion: Yellow onion would also be great, but red doesn't quite work the same for this one.
Red Bell Pepper: Another sweet bell pepper like orange or yellow would also work well.
Peas: The small young peas are the best for this one and the Le Sueur brand peas are the best because they won't get mushy like a lot of other canned peas.
Oil: The original recipe calls for vegetable oil, although as we try to use less of this in our recipes, we used a light olive oil instead, which is still delicious!
Vinegar: If you don't have white wine vinegar, apple cider is a great substitute.
Make Ahead
That's the intention of this salad! It's best once it has cooled and the veggies have marinated in the dressing.
Chopped Veggies
Be sure to chop the onion, bell pepper, and celery all small and about the same size.
