Wundersalat on the Road: Eimsbüttel

We went to the place where not even busses go, and it was dark and beautiful.

Our hosts kept calling this salad treat Italian names and got us drunk on lavender oil. When we woke up, it was gone.

I will be chasing the recipe for you, in my dreams ...

1980s Retro-Style German "Mexican" Party Salad

Oh, the parties of the 80s ... who could bear to relive them. As an act of compassion, we altered the memory of them a little. Wasn't that part of it, anyway?

canned sweet corn
olive oil (did we know there was something other than sunflower oil then? not sure.)
lemon juice (that would have been the exotic zaz)
onion
paprika (aka capsicum - would likely have been green then, but is red and yellow in this case)
carrots
some black olives

some added feta is nice to make this less vegan (did we know the word vegan back then?)
also, some parsley would have been good.
kidney beans, naturally are also missing in this one ....
