Fresh and simple cowboy caviar dip is a perfect for pot-lucks, tailgate parties or summer picnics.
Fresh ingredients tossed together in under 10 minutes.
I have been cooped up in this house for over a week now being sick. I was able to go out on Friday and get some fresh air and lunch with Myron and the girls which was nice. On Friday we also got a bunch of snow which means it is cold, cold, cold here in Utah and all I can do is wish that summer is here. One thing that totally reminds me of summer is this cowboy caviar.
Now lets talk about cowboy caviar. I know that it is one that many of you may already use but it’s good to be reminded of dishes that you love but sometimes forget about. I probably had this dip for the first time 8-9 years ago at my sisters bridal shower and have been hooked ever since.
It is so easy to put together and is fresh and delicious. Beans, corn, onion, red and green peppers, jalapeño, avocado, cilantro all tossed together with a simple vinaigrette is full of flavor. We eat it with tortilla chips (usually the scoop ones so you can scoop up everything), but you can totally eat alone as a salad as well.
The Super Bowl is right around the corner and this dip is the perfect addition to your football game treats. I found the cute football serving dishes at Dollar Tree, they have the serving tray and little bowls there. Hopefully you can find some too, they really make game day a little more fun.
