Cowboy Caviar - Yee Haw!

Fellow night-time boot camper, Claudia, mentioned to me that she has a pot-luck to attend very soon. She asked if I knew any good "healthy" recipes to make for such an occasion. Well, I have the perfect one!

Cowboy Caviar is a HIT at the appetizer table, whether I bring it to parties or if we host at home. This is a recipe that you might initially look at and say "huh?". It's not until you try, that you'll get hooked! It's gone at every occasion.

My brother-in-law, who won't touch a vegetable to save his life....actually requested the recipe!

COWBOY CAVIAR - Serve with flax chips or organic blue corn chips, etc.

1 can pinto beans (rinsed)
1 can black eyed peas (rinsed)
2 ribs of celery chopped
1 red onion chopped
1 red bell pepper chopped
1 can corn (drained)
1/2 C. olive oil
1/2 C. sugar
1/2 C. vegetable oil (ok, not the greatest)
1/2 C. cider vinegar

In a saucepan, bring liquid ingredients and sugar to a boil, cool. Pour over the remaining ingredients and refrigerate for a few hours or overnight. Option to drain a bit before serving.

If you don't like this, I'll be very surprised! Give it a whirl!

Enjoy!
