Clean Redneck Caviar (Bean Salad)

I love  traditional Texas Caviar, but don't like the artificial dressings and added sugar it calls for, so I came up with a clean version! You can have this for lunch by itself, serve over quinoa with some honey lemon vinaigrette, make it into Mexican quinoa patties or serve it with some organic blue corn chips at a party. I like to make a big bowl of it and put it in the fridge to eat on during the week. Its healthy, easy on the wallet, quick and very filling! You can tweak this recipe to your likings with different types of beans, tomatoes and dressing! Here is the recipe and hope you enjoy!

 

Clean Redneck Caviar (Bean Salad)

• 3-4 cans organic beans rinsed (black, great northern, garbanzo, kidney, etc)

• 2 roma tomatoes

• 1/2 container golden cherry tomatoes

• 1 pkg. sweet frozen corn (I use the steam bags and let cool)

• 1 small red onion chopped

• color bell peppers chopped (optional)

• cilantro (to taste)

• sea salt & fresh cracked black pepper

• olive oil and vinegar to taste (red wine or balsamic work well)

• stevia (if you want it a little sweeter)

Mix all ingredients in a bowl and store in an airtight container in your refrigerator for the week!
