Crunchy corn medley

Crunchy corn medley is came from my husband’s aunt, who’s an excellent cook, friend and mentor. It’s crunchy, colorful and combined with a light, tasty dressing. I’ve shared it with friends and relatives, who think it’s a great addition to their recipe collection. From Meredith Cecil of Plattsburg Missouri.
