2. Mix Ingredients: Add the chopped green onions, diced plum tomatoes, and chopped pimento to the bowl with the corn.

3. Add Mayonnaise: Gently fold in the mayonnaise until all ingredients are well coated. The mayonnaise adds a creamy richness to the salad, tying all the flavors together.

5. Combine Well: Mix all the ingredients together until evenly combined. Ensure that the dressing coats each ingredient for a balanced flavor in every bite.

6. Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. Chilling allows the flavors to meld together and enhances the refreshing taste of the salad.

7. Serve: Once chilled, give the salad a final stir, and then it’s ready to serve! Spoon it onto individual plates or into a serving bowl, and garnish with a sprinkle of additional paprika or chopped green onions if desired.
