February 29: Cowboy Caviar

This is just a fancy name for “bean salsa." It is one of my favorites. 

1 15 oz can black beans, drained

1 12 oz can Mexicorn or shoe peg corn, drained

1 12 oz can Ro-Tel tomatoes, drained slightly

1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped

6 green onions, chopped

3 tomatoes, chopped and seeded

minced jalapeno peppers to taste

1 T garlic, minced or 1 tsp garlic powder

1 c bottled Italian dressing

Combine all ingredients. Refrigerate at least 4 hours

to combine flavors. Serve with tortilla chips like salsa.
