Texas Caviar

Today I wanted to share a little gem called Texas Caviar. There are a lot of variations of this recipe but I’m pretty sure this one takes the cake. It is my absolute favorite snack to have. I literally sometimes just eat it by the spoonful but it is best with Tostidos Multigrain chips. It is perfect for summer because it is served chilled and is a light and packed with yummy (mostly) healthy ingredients.

I found this recipe originally on Pinterest but have basically made my own variation which I think is sooo good!

Ingredients:

• 1 can black-eyed peas
• 1 can black beans
• 1 can white Shoepeg corn
• ½ cup onion, chopped
• 1 tomato, chopped
• 1 green pepper, chopped
• 1 red pepper, chopped
• ¾ cup apple cider vinegar
• ½ cup vegetable oil
• 1 Tablespoon water
• ½ cup sugar (or for a healthier option, use splenda)

What to do:

• Drain and rinse the black eyed peas, black beans, and corn and combine in a large bowl. Add chopped peppers and onion.
• Combine the apple cider vinegar, veggie oil, water, and sugar in a saucepan and bring it to a boil. Allow this to simmer for a couple minutes and then remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
• Pour the apple cidar mixture over the large bowl of peas, beans,etc and let sit in refrigerator for 24 hours. (Yes i know this is a long time but if you resist the urge to eat it right away, you will not be sorry.)
• Drain the liquid from the mixture and stuff your face with this amazing salsa.

Now feast your eyes on this…..pure goodness

I’m no food blogger so sorry for the crummy Iphone picture

 

Disclamer: you may become addicted.

Also this recipe makes a LARGE amount of salsa but it keeps well for about a week in the fridge.
