chilled summer vegetables

chilled summer vegetables

growing up in michigan this dish was known as 'corn relish' and traditionally served on thanksgiving.

however it's not really a relish, and it's definitely better suited for summer so i'm re-branding it as 'chilled summer vegtables' and my sisters will just have to deal.
