I love making this side dish! It is seriously one of the quickest, yummiest salads ever! I'm a big fan of vegetable salads (obviously). Growing up in a family of meat eaters that love to have cookouts, I used to love coming up with sides that I got to eat and that my whole family could enjoy. I still enjoy coming up with fun salads. This dish just screams the fresh tasty flavors of Summer! I made it one day after discovering I had three ingredients in my fridge: corn, mushrooms and a red pepper. Turned out to be a delicious salad and one of my favorites to bring to cookouts.

That's it, for reals…

light and delicious!
I love that almost all the ingredients are raw!
OK – I know this goes against the idea of your recipe… but I’d swap out the mushrooms for some crumbled bacon. Yum!
