I see many versions of this recipe on JAP. This one is unique in that the dressing is cooked and cooled. I have made other types to save time with the premade dressing, but this one wins out every time. This recipe has been in our summer get togethers for many years at the cabin "up north." I forgot about it and came across it when preparing for my friends visit. It is ironic all the years we made it and loved it (in the midwest) never dreaming someday we would be living in Texas! Enjoy! We love Frito's scoops or the new baked Tostito scoops.

  • 4
    Add the drained and rinsed beans and corn to the diced peppers. Gently stir the beans and corn into the peppers.

    Drain off only what you will use. The rest will keep up to a week in the fridge.

    Serve with Frito scoops or Tostito scoops. This is a beautiful appetizer and oh so good. I have also added some cooked and cooled pasta for a change of pace and that was also very good!
