cowboy caviar

this recipe will NOT disappoint! it can function as a healthy dish to pass or just simply a cool summer snack


cowboy caviar recipe:

ingredients:
1 can black beans
1 can pinto beans
1 can black eyed peas
1 can garbanzo beans
1 can white corn
1 whole green pepper
1 whole red pepper
1 whole yellow or orange pepper
1 onion
1 bunch cilantro
2 jalapenos 

liquid:
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1 cup sugar
1/4 oil 
1 teaspoon salt
pepper to taste

drain all beans/peas/corn and combine in a large bowl.  finely chop all peppers/onions/cilantro/jalapenos and combine into large bowl with the beans. (i generally combine the seeds from 1 of the jalapenos to the bowl as well for a little extra heat) 

to make the liquid you will combine the oil, vinegar, sugar and salt to a saucepan and bring liquid to a rolling boil (stir often to make sure sugar doesn't stick to bottom of pan) once a rolling boil is reached, turn off heat and let liquid completely cool before adding it to the beans/veggies.  stir and serve with tortilla chips (i recommend the "scoops")
