Sweet Bean Salsa!!

My fabulous mother-in-law Pam brought this Sweet Bean Salsa to share at a Wine & Design night I had back in October.  She had gotten the recipe from my sis-in-law Katherine (everyone check out her photography website!  She rocks:  Furnished Photography )  who had gotten it from someone else so this recipe has been passed on many times and is refreshing and YUMMY!

Since they shared it with me in October, I have made it for 4-5 different events I have attended and everyone always RAVES about it and begs for the recipe... I have promised many people I would post it on the blog and here it is FINALLY!!

Sauce

• 3/4 cup white vinegar

Boil the above sauce ingredients, stirring occasionally until mixture is clear.  Let cool.  Pour over vegetables and toss.  Refrigerate overnight.  Before serving, drain excess liquid from the bowl.

Best served with "Scoops" Tostitos so the beans don't roll off your chip!  =)
