Cowboy Caviar

[daytime dave]

I made a batch of Cowboy Caviar tonight. It is the third batch I have made and it is getting better as I customize the recipe.
It's basically vegetables chopped up with a dressing/marinade poured over it. You eat it on tortilla chips.

I use a slap chopper and it makes things go quickly.

Google cowboy caviar and experiment. There are several basic recipes. It's good on a hot summer night.

I'd be lucky to get any. His manners are atrocious. You'd think he was born in a barn.

another Cowboy Caviar Recipe - a friend who is an excellent cook cobbled together from other recipes, and the ingredients from a Cowboy Caviar she had at a restaurant in GA back in 2012

1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained & rinsed

1 (15 ounce) can black-eyed peas, drained & rinsed

1 (15 ounce) can pinto beans, drained & rinsed (I prefer two cans of black-eyed peas, instead of pinto beans - personal preference.)

1 cup diced celery

1 small bunch parsley leaves, chopped

1/2 red bell pepper, diced

1/2 yellow bell pepper, diced

1/2 cup chopped green onion

1 (2 ounce) jar chopped pimento peppers

2 tablespoons minced jalapeno pepper

1 tablespoon minced garlic

I also add a 2 oz can of sliced black olives sometimes.

Dressing - mix ingredients well
1/2 cup rice vinegar (just the regular - not seasoned)
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil (I use safflower or grapeseed oil)
1/3 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon salt (I cut this in half)
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Mix together the beans and vegetables. Stir in the dressing. Refrigerate at least four hours, but overnight is much better.
