MEXICAN CORN RELISH

Our family ate at a Ruby Tuesday restaurant on vacation and liked the mexican-flavored corn relish on their salad bar. I tried to remember the flavor and when I found recipe #10711 for corn relish that sounded good, I modified it to taste like what I remembered. Might not be exactly the same, but my family loves the way this recipe turned out. Thanks to Diana Neal for the original recipe.
