15 oz. can whole kernel corn with red and green peppers, drained
6 oz. Sliced ripe olives, drained

Notes:
2025-11-26: Served with Subway sandwiches.
2020-08-07: This worked very well and makes a lot. We made the dressing and held it in reserve until added two each individual bowl. The lime was too strong and too many olives.
2016-08-13: Added to our cookbook.
