    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!

    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!
