Instructions

In a small saucepan, combine the olive oil, vegetable oil, cider vinegar, and sugar. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
In a large bowl, mix together the pinto beans, black-eyed peas, corn, onion, celery, red bell pepper, and cilantro until everything is evenly combined.
Pour the cooled oil mixture over the bean mixture and toss well to coat.
For best results, cover the bowl and refrigerate for a few hours or overnight, stirring occasionally.
Drain excess dressing before serving. Best served chilled, and enjoy as a dip or side dish.

Notes

For extra heat, add sliced jalapeños or hot sauce before refrigerating.
Add diced avocado just before serving for extra creaminess.
Feel free to swap beans (e.g., black beans, kidney beans) for different flavors.
This recipe is already vegan. Add extra veggies for more crunch.
