Bean Dip

Also known as Texas Caviar, this dip is loaded with beans and vegetables. It's always a hit, and especially great for summer get-togethers where it can sit out for long periods of time without refrigeration.

Lauren loves beans, and she loves chips, so it's a natural hit with my Tiny Tot.... that is if she gets to it before it's gone.

Boil on stove until sugar is dissolved:
½ cup vegetable oil
¼ cup cider vinegar
¼ cup sugar
½ tsp. salt
½ tsp. pepper

Allow to cool before adding to beans & vegetables.

Drain & Rinse:
1 can black beans
1 can white corn
1 can black-eyed peas

Combine above ingredients with:
1 cup onion, chopped
1 cup green peppers, chopped
1 cup red peppers, chopped
1 cup celery, chopped
1 small jar pimientos--do not drain

Refrigerate until ready to serve.

This dip is best when allowed to set overnight to blend flavors.

Serve with scoops tortilla chips.
