"This was one of my mom's favorite recipes. She got the recipe from a lady with whom she worked many years ago. Growing up, we called it Pea Vegetable Salad (that's the name written on my mother's copy of the recipe.) Some friends of mine, however, said that they too have a similar recipe, yet call it Christmas Relish. I like that name better, but it certainly isn't a dish that is just for Christmas time. I think the name must come from all the red and green veggies. Regardless of the name, it is one tasty little side dish!"

ingredients

425.24 g can baby green peas, drained
311.84 g can shoe peg corn, drained
56.69 g jar pimientos
236.59 ml finely chopped green pepper
236.59 ml finely chopped celery
236.59 ml finely chopped onion
118.29 ml diced cheddar cheese
236.59 ml sugar
59.14 ml oil
118.29 ml vinegar
4.92 ml salt
2.46-3.69 ml pepper

directions

Mix sugar, oil, vinegar, salt and pepper in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
Boil for a few minutes and remove from heat.
Let cool completely.
Combine all vegetables and cheese in a bowl.
Pour cooled sauce over veggies and mix.
Refrigerate. Best served cold!
Note: Sometimes I use half of a green pepper and half of a red pepper. Chop peppers by hand, do not use chopper! And LeSueur peas work just fine.
