Check out this simple recipe for Bean Salsa or as some people call it, Cowboy Caviar. It is probably my favorite salsa and easy appetizer.
I love how simple it is to make however most people can't tell that it is made with canned ingredients. I think the fresh cilantro really gives it a great flavor too! Serve it with blue tortilla chips and you have an easy appetizer that everyone will enjoy. You can also add this to a burrito or taco! It is so nice to add the extra protein with the beans. It is naturally high in healthy carbs too.
This is a nice and healthy protein packed side that is sure to be a winner at the next party you go too. Best of all you can even serve this with a nice piece of fish for dinner too. Trust me you can't go wrong with this easy Bean Salsa. Everyone begs for this when we go to parties. What I love is everyone thinks it is hard to make when in reality this is true dump and go appetizer recipe. It takes me literally a minute to prepare! The hardest part is waiting for it to chill before you serve it. That is how I discovered it is good room temperate too!
Bean Salsa is a really affordable appetizer recipe too. Made with a variety of canned beans and veggies you can easily pick these up on sale. I love taking this to a cookout or picnic, there is no worry for refrigeration like other salads. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do. Regardless of the name you know it by - Bean Salsa, Cowboy Caviar, whatever you call it, we call it delicious!

Love this recipe - I make the version from allrecipes.com and the thing that really makes it good is the fresh cilantro. It always amazes people that most of it comes out of cans!
