Fresh Corn Salad

Isn’t it fun when you leave your comfort zone of your home, town, family circle even state and find something new. We recently went to my husband’s niece’s wedding. We haven’t really seen her since she was a young teenager so we were not familiar with her tastes or interests.  At the luncheon they served a “Corn Salad” something  I had never tasted let alone ever heard of.  It was very good. But as usual  John and I had to come home and do our own thing to it. So here it is “Fresh Corn Salad”.

Stir together all of the ingredients except the corn chips.  Refrigerate until served.  Add chips just before serving as to keep their crispness.

Great new taste for your next family picnic, at least it was for us.
