This Shoepeg Corn Salad is a sweet, crisp salad; some call it a “relish.” It’s great for potlucks or as a side for lunch or dinner. And it’s so easy to make! Many recipes I've seen for this kind of salad use granulated sugar as the sweetener, but I decided to use honey instead.

Shoepeg corn is one of the main ingredients in this salad, but it can be a little hard to find at the grocery store! I had to do some searching, but finally found it on the top shelf in the canned veggie section.

Before I made this salad, I didn’t know exactly what shoepeg corn was. After looking on the web, I learned that, back before the Civil War, this certain type of corn was called “Shoepeg Corn” because of its peg-like shape.
