Shoe Peg Salad is a classic side dish that is simple to make and bursting with flavor. It's perfect for potlucks, picnics, and barbecues. The salad gets its name from the shoe peg corn that is used in it. Shoe peg corn is a type of sweet corn that is cut into small, round pieces. It's similar to corn kernels, but it has a slightly different texture and flavor. Shoe Peg Salad is typically made with shoe peg corn, chopped celery, chopped onion, and mayonnaise. Some recipes also include chopped hard-boiled eggs, chopped pickles, or chopped bell peppers.

Steps:
- Put the dressing ingredients into a sauce pan on medium heat and bring to a boil. Set the dressing aside and cool completely. Meanwhile, mix all of the vegetables into a large bowl. Pour the cooled dressing over the vegetables and stir well. Refrigerate overnight for the dressing to soak into the vegetables. Before serving, drain the dressing from the salad.
- Tips and Stuff: Don't forget to drain most or all of the dressing before serving or it will be overwhelming. The Le Sueur peas are recommended because they are firmer and will hold up to the dressing without getting mushy. Frozen peas would work, too. *It really is tangy, so if you want less vinegar taste, cut the cider vinegar down by a couple of tablespoons.
