Interesting. I've seen and used a pared-down version of that recipe posted
here as "Mom's Salad" some years ago:

Mom's Salad

1 can baby corn, drained
1 jar marinated artichoke hearts (not drained)
1 large jar pitted black olives, drained
1 large jar green beans (NOT French cut)
1 jar whole baby mushrooms, drained
1/2 cup Italian dressing

Mix together and chill.


I added cubes of fresh mozzarella and had it with artisanal bread for a
picnic.
