Cowboy Caviar


In a large bowl combine

1 can black beans - drained
1 can pinto beans - drained
2 cans white sweet corn - drained
1 can jalapeño peppers (I left this out too)
1 small can olives (I added 2 because I left out jalapeños)
1 small jar pimentos
2 stalks chopped celery (optional)
1/2 red onion chopped

Marinade

11/2 cup olive oil
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup apple cider vinegar

combine marinade ingredients and heat just until sugar is dissolvedadd marinade to large bowl and stir all ingredients together and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (overnight is best)drain off excess marinade and serve with your favorite chips (I like Frito scoops)

Substitutions

  • Zesty Italian salad dressing can be used for the marinade
  • Other kinds of beans can be used instead of pinto and black beans
