COWBOY CAVIAR

(Use during C. T.) Beans are a great way to add fiber and plant-based protein to your diet. Preparing dried beans is a great way to have some money in your grocery budget. Canned beans cost about 70 cents while dried beans cost around 20 cents per cup. You can find dried beans at your local grocery store and can often find them in bulk bins as well. Buying in bulk saves you money because it allows you to only buy the amount you need and pay by the pound. When cooking dried beans, place them in a pot and cover with water. Soak these beans overnight. After soaking, rinse the beans and then simply follow your recipe. Keep in mind that beans will expand as they soak and 1 cup dry beans will yield about 2.5 cups after soaking.

COWBOY CAVIAR



Cowboy Caviar image

Thank Oklahoma for this easy, bright and tangy salad. It's made with one of the state's staple crops, black-eyed peas -- or cowpeas as some in the "Sooner State" like to say. With bursts of corn, tomato and pepper, it's a salad that can be served cold or at room temperature, making it perfect for a picnic or tailgate party.

SO SIMPLE COWBOY CAVIAR



So Simple Cowboy Caviar image

Had this at a potluck picnic and it was wonderful. I sought out the woman who made it and got the recipe. The secret is to drain it before serving so it isn't swimming in dressing. Serve with tortilla chips. I use cider vinegar but feel free to use white, red, raspberry or any other flavor of your choice. Can sizes are given for the current commonly available sizes in the US. Adjust ingredients for your taste. Times do not include marinate or draining time.
