Green Bean, Corn, and Pea Salad

I made this as a side dish for grilled meat.   This was delicious, healthy, and refreshing.

Ingredients:

16 oz. can corn

16 oz. can green beans

2 cups frozen green peas, blanched or just defrosted

1 small green pepper, chopped

1/2 red onion chopped

1/2 cup sugar

3/4 cup white vinegar

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions:

1. Drain the green beans, and corn over a colander, then place in a glass bowl with the cooked peas, green pepper and sliced onions.
2. In a saucepan heat sugar, vinegar, oil, salt, pepper and garlic powder (if using) bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer stirring continuously ONLY until the sugar dissolves completely (do not boil for a long time).
3. Remove from heat and pour over the veggies.
4. Refrigerate overnight.
