Week of Recipes--Day 2

Party Salsa/Bean Dip/"Mississippi Caviar"

If you have been entertained at my house, you have probably eaten this. Sam and I like to eat it for dinner if we have the chance.

In a large bowl combine:

1 can Rotel tomatoes, drained
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can corn with peppers, drained
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 red onion, diced

Sprinkle the surface with garlic powder, then toss with bottled Italian dressing. Use just enough dressing to moisten and bring things together--too much will make a soupy mess, so be careful. Serve with tortilla chips, preferably Tostitos Scoops for optimum dipping.
