We love to eat this any time, it’s fab with Tortilla Chips! All the ingredients for this recipe can be found at your local market and super easy to prepare.

4 Servings

1 (15 ounce) can black eye peas or pinto beans, drained and rinsed
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 (15 ounce) can dark red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 (7 ounce) can corn, drained and rinsed
1 bunch of scallions, sliced cross-ways finely
1 (7 ounce) can green chilies, diced
1 small bottle of Italian salad dressing
1 avocado, diced (optional)
1 bunch cilantro, chopped (optional)
1 lime, juiced (optional)
Corn chips or tortillas chips

Drain as much liquid as possible from all cans. Mix contents together. Toss with remaining ingredients. Serve with corn chips or tortillas

Note:  only use ½ a bottle of the Italian dressing and ½ can green chilies. Then people can top their individual servings with more dressing and chilies if they prefer.

Variation:  also good on top of salads. I love avocado so I prefer to use 2 (or more!). Of course, if you have a favorite home-made Italian dressing, use that in place of the store-bought brands.
