Black Bean & Corn Salsa

When our friends Bethany & Quenton lived near us for 4 wonderful years, we had many get togethers with them and Kyle & Kim. We are all friends from college days and it was always a great time when we got together. More often than not, Bethany brought along a big bowl of this stuff.

Marinade
1/4 c. olive oil
1 c. sugar
3/4 c. cider vinegar
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 Tbsp. water

Put all ingredients into a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil and stir until sugar is completely dissolved. Set aside to cool and continue with bean mixture

2 cans black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
2 cans white shoepeg corn, drained
1 green pepper, chopped fine
1 medium red onion, chopped fine
3 celery ribs, chopped fine
3 to 5 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped
6 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped juice of one lime
1/2 c. balsamic vinegar

Put into large bowl. Pour marinade over bean mixture and toss to coat well. Rerigerate several hours before serving, overnight is best. Serve with tortilla chips or Fritos scoops.
