We have something that we make called Texas Caviar. It’s basically a salsa with beans, corn and a bunch of other ingredients…and it’s delicious. If you’ve had it, you know what I’m talking about. I used that Texas caviar recipe as inspiration for this salsa. Instead of just tossing in a few cans of beans, I cooked dried beans from scratch in my slow cooker. I used a package of Hurst’s 15 Bean Soup. As you know, I love Hurst’s products and making their dried beans in the slow cooker is super easy and the best way that I know how to make beans.

I love making dried beans in my slow cooker because it’s one of those things where you put them in and forget them for hours and hours and. I don’t have a pressure cooker but I bet making dried beans in the pressure cooker would work really well too (in that case you would NOT leave them in for hours and hours :). I start out by soaking my beans overnight in water and a bit of salt. Then I drain and rinse them and stick them in the slow cooker with more water and more salt. I literally leave them in the slow cooker on low for 10 hours (your slow cooker may be faster or slower) and then drain the beans and let them cool a bit. While they are cooling down, I chopped up roma tomatoes, green onions, cilantro, red onions and avocado.

This looks delicious! How long does it stay good for? And, do the avocadoes turn brown quickly? We have a potluck dinner at an annual
camping trip (over 70 people last year!) and I think I might take this!
Avocados turn brown but not super quickly. Probably 5-6 hours.
Holy YUM! I’d eat that salsa straight up with a spoon and call it lunch!
me too 🙂
What a great and simple salsa. Love the names too, Texas caviar and 15-bean salsa.
I always think the name Texas Caviar is funny 🙂
