Mexican Summer Salad

Budget Tip

The budget tip for this one is: when you're asked to bring a salad, bring this one.  All the ingredients you either have or if you have to buy it, they are CHEAP CHEAP!  And the best part is, even though the salad looks sparse, the flavor is AWESOME.  This one is going to be a hit, I promise.

Suggested Ingredients

1 1/2 cups corn kernels (canned/cooked, drained)
1/4 cup very well drained pickle relish
1/4 pitted sliced black olives
1/2 cup chopped celery
1 tsp salt
2 TBSP sugar
2 TBSP white wine vinegar
6 TBSP salad oil
1 8oz pkg shredded iceberg lettuce (or get a head and shred 8oz yourself)

Suggested Method of Putting it Together

Combine corn, relish, olives and celery,  Dissolve salt and sugar in vinegar in a small jar with a lid.  Add salad oil and shake while dancing to fiesta music and wearing a sombrero.  Pour over corn mixture.  Chill for several hours, stirring occasionally while dancing the Mexican hat dance.   Prior to serving mix with the lettuce by tossing.  Throw your sombrero in the air and try to catch it with just your head - no hands!
