Good morning! I’m veering away from fashion & beauty today to share a side dish I tried this past weekend. It’s a Refreshing & Easy Shoe Peg Corn Salad and it’s soooo good! I had to share it with you!
We’re heading into Memorial Weekend which is the unofficial start of summer. Cookouts are a big part of summer and this is a great dish to add to your summer meals.
You know it’s easy or I wouldn’t be sharing it, so here’s all you need:
- 2 cans shoe peg corn, drained, 11 oz. (I used Green Giant steam crisp shoe peg corn.)
- 1 English cucumber ( You can use a regular cucumber but remove the seeds.)
- Grape tomatoes sliced (I used around 15.)
- Sweet onion, finely chopped (I used about 1/4 cup.)
- Mayonaise (I added a little more than 1/4 cup.)
- Salt & Pepper
Place drained corn, sliced cucumber, sliced grape tomatoes and sweet onion in a bowl. Add mayonaise, salt & peper. Chill in the refrigerator for a few minutes and then serve. If you don’t like pepper you don’t have to use it, but it does give it a great flavor!
That’s it! I’m definitely going to be fixing this over the holiday weekend!
Are you cooking out this weekend? What are your Memorial Weekend plans?
Beauty for the Heart~~I love summer! I have so many great summer memories of playing at the pool, picnics, staying outside with all the neighborhood kids until dark and Mom having to make us come inside. As summer begins I want to make memories with my family.
Let’s take time to enjoy the simple things like sunshine, flowers, birds, and warm breezes. Summer comes and goes so quickly and I want to soak up every minute of it!
I will sing to the Lord all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live. Psalm 104:33
Have a blessed day!

Thanks for sharing this Lynne. I also added the drained part to my post! Forgot that.
Have a great weekend,

Sound good. I plan to try this too. I love summer for several reasons but the one I’m really focusing on right now is NO SCHOOL! I’m a teacher and I have ten more days! The countdown is on! 🙂
Kerri, I have made this plenty of times and used regular yellow or white canned corn. My recipe calls for Green Godess salad dressing rather than mayo. I can only find it at Walmart. It doesnt take much and is very good. I also find that the shoepeg canned corn tends to be seasonal and sometimes hard to find. I use green onions instead of sweet but any kind would work. Everyone loves this salad and it is so easy. Make sure you drain the corn.
Well., if you don’t like black pepper, I’m sure hot pepper isn’t any better, BUT it’s great with this salad. This reminds me so much of the roasted Mexican corn we get in the markets around here. It’s sold smothered in mayonnaise and sprinkled with red chil pepper (cayenne, not pre-mixed) Delish. I’m going to try this, too.
YUM. I’m going to try this!
I haven’t tried regular corn Kerri, but I think it would work!

Is there any other brand name corn that can be used besides the shoe peg? I have stores of regular canned corn…will they work too? Or is there a special texture or taste to the shoe peg?
