- Sweet corn– You can use canned corn, or cut up fresh corn on the cob (or grilled corn), or even frozen corn.
- Bell pepper– This recipe uses red bell pepper but you can use whatever color you have on hand.
- Cucumbers– we used mini cucumers but half of an English cucumber will work as well!
- Cauliflower– You want to make sure to cut the cauliflower into small florets.
