A co worker brought this in to the lounge this week and I had to make several trips for a bite. I had to get the recipe, this is so yummy I had to share.

Make the marinade first so that it can cool while you are preparing the rest.

Marinade

1/2 cup veg. oil
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup vinegar
garlic salt to taste
Lawry pepper seasoning to taste

Boil long enough for the sugar to melt and then let cool. Mix with the other ingredients, refrigerate and let sit for a day.
Main Ingredients

1 can of pinto beans
1 can of black eyed peas
1 can of black beans
1 can of shoe peg corn
2 cans of sliced black olives

Rinse and drain the above in a colander then place in large bowl.

Chop fine and add to the above:

1 green pepper
1 yellow pepper
1 red pepper
1 orange pepper
1 medium red onion
1 and half cup celery

Before serving drain excess marinade.

Enjoy with Tostitos, Fritos, crackers, or on a salad.

I would get a spoonful at a time it was wonderful.

I have had this many times preop and loved it. I guess you could sub the sugar with splenda to make it post op friendly. Did you have it with chips or crackers or anything or just by the spoonful? I am printing this out to try. I bet it would be good with the Nacho Burgers Beth posted a few days ago.

I tried it alone and the sugar didn't bother me. I didn't know there was sugar in it until I ate it. I then went up at lunch and grabbed a tostito and dipped it in. I only ate the one and was stuffed. I was thinking it would be good on a salad but you are right on a burger it would probably taste wonderful. I am making some after work. I thought it sounded like a good snack to have around the house.

Ooohhh it would be good on a salad maybe with some grilled chicken. I had not even thought of that.
