Black Bean and Corn Salsa (Aka Texas Caviar)







We didn't have to travel far to party New Years Eve. Our neighbors across the street had a party and I took this.

Since the recipe contained black eye peas figured it would bring everyone a bit of luck.

Ingredients:

10 oz frozen corn, cooked and drained
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can black eyed peas, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup red bell pepper, diced
1/2 cup green bell pepper, diced
1 cup chopped celery
3/4 cup chopped green onion
1 cup chopped white onion
3/4 cup apple cider vinegar
3/4 cup olive oil
1 cup sugar
Salt and pepper

Directions:

1.  Mix together everything in a large bowl except the oil, vinegar and sugar.

2. Add the vinegar, oil and sugar to a medium saucepan and bring it to a boil.  Remove from heat and let it cool.

3. Add cooled oil/vinegar mixture to the chopped veggies, stir and make sure everything is well coated

4. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

Serve with scoop-able chips.

    1. I was going to add some jalapeno but held off because I wasn't sure if other people would like it.

  5. I bet that dip disappeared in no time at all at the party! I love dips like that....and "Scoops" are perfect for it too.....they hold a nice bundle of goodies.

    What a fun way to ring in the New Year....it was nice and quiet here-just the way I like it. I managed to see the ball drop in Times Square while Bob was snoring on the couch. We're still trying to figure out where 2014 went-it sure did go by fast.

    Have a Happy and Healthy 2015 everyone! :)
