Texas Caviar..no fish

  • Got this recipe from my friend Pearl who in turn got it from a friend holidaying in Texas. She says it is so good that you can eat it by spoonfuls. I agree!

    Texas Caviar

    1/2 cup sweet red pepper, coarsely chopped
    1/2 cup sweet green pepper, coarsely chopped
    1/2 cup chopped onion, finely chopped
    1/2 cup celery, finely chopped, I use 1 cup and omit onions
    1 540 ml (19 oz) can chick peas or black eyed peas, drained
    1 540 ml can black beans or kidney beans, drained
    1 341 ml (12 oz) can niblet corn, not drained

    Dressing:
    1/2 cup sugar, I have used slightly less with good results
    1/2 cup vinegar
    1/2 cup olive oil
    1 tsp cayenne pepper, more if you like a lot of spice
    1/2 can jalepeno peppers
    Let sit in a covered container in fridge overnight.
    Serve with multigrain tortilla chips.
A wonderful 'veggie filled' snack.
