Cowboy Caviar

This stuff is so good.  Michelle had me make it at her house for a recent family gathering.  I went right home and made it for us.  It makes a great appetizer/side dish.




Cowboy Caviar

1 can black beans

1 can black-eyed peas

1 can diced tomatoes

1 can corn

1 onion, diced or can use 1 bunch green onions, chopped

1/2 green pepper, chopped

1-3 chopped jalapenos (seed them if you want it to be less hot), diced

1/4 cup chopped cilantro

Garlic salt

Zesty Italian dressing

1 lime, juiced

Drain the beans, peas, and tomatoes. Put into a bowl and add the onion, green pepper, jalapenos, and cilantro.  Add garlic salt to taste.  Add 1/4 to 1/2 cup Italian dressing and lime juice.  Toss all together and marinate in fridge for 1 hour before serving.  Serve with tortilla chips, crackers, or just alone as a side dish.
