Confetti Garden Salad - Lisa Deane

Dressing
3 tbs fat-free or light mayonnaise dressing
1/2 tbs dried dill weed, crumbled
1/2 tbs Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp salt

Salad
1 large red bell pepper, chopped
1 medium cucumber, peeled, seeded, and chopped
1 medium rib of celery, chopped
1/2 c frozen green peas
1/2 c frozen whole-kernel corn

In a medium bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients. Add the remaining ingredients. Using a rubber scraper so you can incorporate all the dressing, stir together gently. Let stand for 15 minutes to absorb flavors. Serve within another 15 minutes for the best texture and flavor (the dressing begins to break downif it stands too long). Don’t thaw the peas and corn before adding them. They will thaw slightly during the standing time, giving the dish a fresh taste and good texture.

Serves 6; 1/2 cup per serving
