Note
For a warmer dish, you can sauté the onions and green peppers in a little olive oil before mixing with the corn and tomatoes.
If using canned whole tomatoes, ensure they are well-drained to prevent the dish from becoming watery.
This dish can be served cold as a salad or at room temperature. It tastes even better after marinating in the refrigerator for a few hours.
