My younger daughter ate all of hers, a second serving, and some of her older sisters, who proclaimed the onions to be "spicy" but ate a large amount once the onions were removed.
My husband ate all the rest that was made and then requested that I make more.
I secretly felt guilt at feeding them "GMO" foods, but salved my "Mama Guilt" with the knowledge that we rarely eat corn and that at least they were eating their vegetables.
My father looked at it, shook his head and stated that he does not eat corn because "we feed corn to chickens in Poland. People don't eat corn, except maybe once in while on cob."
I said that I thought this salad was a Polish American adaptation and he nodded, "Yes, I think so. This is not Polish dish. What else you make for dinner, Ges (goose in Polish)?" and I produced various containers filled with other Polish salads. Which I will share recipes to another time.
But, right now, I am sharing the recipe to this dish.
Ingredients:
1 can of sweet Green Peas, drained
1 can of yellow Corn, drained
1/2 sweet Onion, finely chopped
1-2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
Salt and Pepper, to taste
Optional: (Any of the following in any combination, if you like)
1-2 Eggs, hard boiled, peeled, and diced
Chopped Ham
Chopped mild yellow Cheese
Mix it all together. Eat. That simple.
Smacznego!

Everything would be great but... I just can't stand peas!!! I just can't eat it at all. I think it's a dislike I have from my childhood... As you know pea is very popular in Polish kitchen and in '80 in Poland it was the most common vegetable available... I think I ate it then that will last me my whole lifetime ;)
Pozdrawiam! Anula.
YUMMMM!!!
