Colorful Corn Relish
 

 
Daily Bread
Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the LORD.
Psalm 31:24




  As the name suggests, this salad makes an appealing presentation. It is fast and easy to prepare and can be made several days in advance. The longer the relish marinates, the more the flavor is enhanced. Adjust the seasonings to your personal preference, adding more or less green chili peppers, cilantro, lime, vinegar or salt. 

3 cups frozen corn, thawed

cup finely chopped red onions

green pepper, finely chopped

1 can (15 ounces) black-eyed peas, rinsed and drained

4 ounces pimentos, diced

1 can (4 ounces) green chili peppers, chopped

cup minced fresh parsley

1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 tablespoons lime juice

2 tablespoons white-wine vinegar

2 teaspoons garlic powder

1 teaspoon dried basil

teaspoon ground cumin

Freshly ground black pepper

Salt

  In a large bowl, combine the corn, onions, green peppers, peas, pimentos, chili peppers, parsley, and cilantro. Toss well. In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, lime juice, vinegar, garlic powder, basil, cumin, and black pepper and salt to taste. Stir the oil mixture into the vegetables and marinate in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Taste to adjust seasonings. Preparation time: 10 minutes. Marinating time: 30 minutes or more.
