Hearty, healthy, and full of flavor, this bean salsa will be the hit of the party!

Why are dips so good?

I love creamy dips like Spinach Artichoke, and good old dips like Southwest Guacamole, but this dip…this salsa…this whatever you want to call it rivals them all!

Just remember, if you bring it to a party, be prepared to be the star.

So here’s the deal with this dip: My sister recently had a baby, and so as those things go, we had a party.

And her in-laws brought an amazing cowboy caviar type dip, very similar to what you are seeing here.

It was definitely everyone’s favorite, and I ate it by the chip-full, then spooned it over my salad too.

So I asked for the recipe. And she said, “It is just all those yummy things and some sweet vinaigrette dumped over the top.”

Sounds simple enough right?

Well it would be, except they live in a small town and shop at a small local store.

And my big old chain store does not carry the sweet vinaigrette dressing she recommended. I can’t find it.

And I have been wanting the bean salsa ever since. So I bought tons of different vinaigrette dressings to try and recreate the flavor.

Total waste.

Then I realized I could just make my own. So I did. And while it is not exactly the same, I dare to say it might actually be better.

I served it with Scoops chips because they are the hubs fave.

But it can also be served over salad, in a burrito, with grilled chicken or prawns, or just eat it with a spoon.

It is not beneath me to do this.
