Trying New Foods

I had seen cowboy caviar recipes in the past; however, I never had the desire to try it. For me, the recipes always seemed to have too many beans. One day, a co-worker brought some in from home. I tried it and was quickly hooked.

To be honest, I finished what was left in the bowl. Yikes! Sure glad that I try new foods and make my family try them too. I made the recipe at home over the next few days, so my family could try it too. However, I tweaked the recipe to our tastes.

Here is my version of the Cowboy Caviar

I hope you and your family like it as much as we do. Some people say it tastes better the next day…hard to get it to last that long at our house.

Simple Ingredients and Easy Recipe

The hardest part of this bean salad is opening the cans and cutting the bag open for the corn. Just so east and delicious. Be sure to give this a try. This is one of those foods you do not have to feel guilty eating.

Like Your Salsa with a Bit of Heat?

Optional Heat If you prefer a bit of heat with your bean salads. Add 1 Jalapeno with the seeds removed. Dice it. I have had it with the Jalapeno added and it is good that way too.
