SECRET RECIPE COLD CORN SALAD

I definitely recommend doubling this recipe as it is so good that you won't have a kernel left. If you are serving this to kids you don't have to put in the red onion and if you have trouble finding sour pickles a deli will always sell you some sour pickle juice if you just ask. Due to the pickle juice, this will develop a sour taste if left overnight so use within a couple of hours of preparing. Enjoy!
