Texas Cowboy Salsa (aka Cowboy Caviar)

My mom shared this yummy recipe with me at a family reunion. It is another great summer recipe, although I also served it at a New Year's Eve party and it was a  total hit. It kind of reminds me of a bean salad with the marinade, but way better! My kids often ask me to make this because they like it so much. Be aware that this makes a large batch which is perfect for a group, it's delicious! 

Texas Cowboy Salsa

1 can each-drain and rinse

  Pinto beans

  Northern beans

  Black beans

  Black eyed peas

  Kidney beans

  White kidney beans

  Corn

Chop fine-

   1 c green pepper

   1 c celery

   1 onion

2 cans diced green chilies

Mix all together in a container with a tight lid.

I use a large flat one so it covers better to marinate.

Depending on the amount of beans used, you will need to make

½ more or double the marinate.

In a saucepan bring to a boil:

   1 cup oil

   1 cup sugar

   1 tsp water

    ¾ c white vinegar

    1 tsp salt

     ½ tsp pepper

Let marinade cool, and  then stir in with bean mixture. 

Let marinate for 24 hours before serving for best flavor. 

Serve with tortilla chips and enjoy!
