About

Shoepeg corn isn't just fun to say (although it is)! It's a cultivar beloved for its distinct sweetness, making it perfect for Mom's Shoepeg Corn Salad! It's still made just the same way Mom did, with green peppers for brightness, lightly spicy pimentos, crunchy celery, and of course, the summer goodness of the corn. For everything to come together in the sweet and tangy dressing, it needs quite a bit of time, but good things come to those who wait. And Mom's Shoepeg Corn Salad is certainly worth waiting for!
