Lucia Schnitzer’s Cowboy Caviar
With Super Bowl right around the corner, and the Arizona Cardinals having a real chance at getting there, what will you bring to the biggest game of the year? Lucia Schnitzer, owner of Luci’s Healthy Marketplace, is offering up her favorite game day recipe! Cowboy Caviar is a simple and delicious dish that can be served as a dip or-if you’re like Lucia-simply eat it by itself! Below is a recipe that serves ten.
- 1 15 ounce can black bean rinsed and drained
- 1 15 ounce can black-eyed peas rinsed and drained
- 1 15 ounce can pinto beans rinsed and drained
- 1 11 ounce can yellow corn drained
- 1 cup celery diced
- 1 small bunch cilantro leaves chopped
- 1/2 red bell pepper diced
- 1/2 yellow bell pepper diced
- 1/2 cup green onion chopped
- 1 2 ounce jar pimento peppers chopped
- 2 Tbsp. jalapeno pepper minced
- 2 tsp. garlic minced
- 1/2 cup rice vinegar
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/3 cup coconut sugar (can also use regular sugar)
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
- Combine the black beans, black-eyed peas, pinto beans, corn, celery, cilantro, red and yellow bell peppers, green onion, pimento peppers, jalapeno pepper and garlic in a large bowl. Set aside.
- Bring the rice vinegar, olive oil, sugar, salt and black pepper to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat until the sugar is dissolved (about 5 minutes).
