New Zealand Corn Salad
From: Irmgard

I found this delicious salad years ago in an article on the cuisine of Australia and New Zealand.

SERVES 6

• 1 1/2 cups frozen peas
• 1 (12 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
• 1 cup peeled diced cucumber
• 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons white vinegar
• 1 clove garlic, crushed
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 dash black pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon dry mustard
• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• lettuce leaf, for serving

Cook the peas in a small amount of boiling water 3 minutes and drain immediately.

Cool, then combine with the corn, cucumber and onions in a large bowl.

Shake remaining ingredients except lettuce in a small jar with a tight-fitting lid and pour over the vegetables, tossing until all are coated.

Cover and chill.

Serve on lettuce leaves.
