Preparation of Ingredients:
Begin by gathering all your fresh ingredients. Dice the fresh tomatoes and green bell peppers, and finely chop the onion. This vibrant array of colors will not only make your salad appealing but will also ensure a variety of textures in every bite. -
Mixing the Salad:
In a large glass bowl, combine the whole kernel corn, diced tomatoes, diced bell peppers, and chopped onion. I personally love using a clear glass bowl for salads like this because it allows the beautiful colors to shine through, making it a centerpiece at your dining table. -
Adding the Dressing:
Gently fold in the low-fat plain yogurt and the plain fat-free yogurt. These creamy components add a delightful tang to the salad while keeping it light and healthy. Mix well to ensure that all the ingredients are evenly coated with the yogurt. -
Chill the Salad:
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the refrigerator. Let the salad chill for a minimum of 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld beautifully. You can also leave it in the fridge for up to 24 hours if you want to prepare it ahead of time. -
Serving Suggestions:
When you’re ready to serve, take the salad out of the refrigerator and give it a quick stir. Serve it on a bed of fresh green Iceberg lettuce for an extra crunch and to enhance the presentation. Enjoy this delicious and healthy salad to the fullest, savoring each bite of freshness!
