Three Sisters' Salad image

I make this salad a lot during the summer, when I try to have on hand a selection of salads that keep well in the fridge for several days. I also make it in the winter, using frozen corn instead of fresh, and a small handful of dried tomatoes, soaked in a little boiling water instead of the fresh tomato. It's a meal in itself, or goes well with other salads, cheese and cold cuts. If you are going to keep it in the fridge, and are using fresh tomato, keep that out and add it separately at serving time.
