  1. Set a small sauce pot over medium-high heat. Add the apple cider vinegar, sugar, olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well. Bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling stir and remove from heat. Allow the marinade to cool as you prepare the salad ingredients.
  2. Drain the petite peas, shoepeg corn, and pimentos. Finely dice one cup each of onion, celery, and bell pepper.
  3. Set out a large mixing bowl. Combine the canned and fresh vegetables in the bowl. Pour the cooled marinade over the top. Mix well.
  4. Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least six hours, or overnight.
