In a large bowl assemble tomatoes, green bell pepper and pineapple

Add cooked corn, crushed black pepper, green chillies, mint leaves, salt to taste and mix well.

Notes
I used frozen sweet corn, in case you use canned corn wash thoroughly before use. In case you use fresh corn cook until soft on the stove top with sufficient water
