I created this dish for a chopped style challenge the kosher connection link up team did. We had to use canned corn, pears and Mike and Ike candies. I used to make this salad without the pears or candy and thought they would be a nice addition. You can certainly leave either one out, but the candies did add a surprisingly nice flavor and maybe will get your kids to eat it.
