Cowboy Caviar

 Hi Everyone!

 

Yesterday, I met up with my neighbors. It was my turn to host and since we were meeting later in the day, I thought I would bring more than sweets to go with coffee or tea.

I made Cowboy Caviar. I did change it up a bit but it was delish.

Have you ever made it or eaten it?

 

Add some corn chips and you have a meal.

In addition you can pretty much add whatever you want in this dish. 

 Here is the recipe.

3 Roma tomatoes remove seeds and dice.

2 avocados diced, I added these just before serving. 

1/4 cup red onion diced 

1 can black beans rinse and drained

1 can black eyes peas rinsed and drained

1 1/2 cups for frozen or canned corn. If it's frozen thaw thoroughly.

1 bell pepper any color seeds removed

1 jalapeno seeds removed. 

1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro 

Note:

I did not add the jalapeno or the cilantro. I used Mexican Oregano, I used red and sweet onion and added small diced celery and small cubes of colby jack cheese.

I also use black beans and pinto beans. 

 The sauce.

1/3 cup olive oil, I used grapeseed oil.

2 Tablespoons line juice. I used lemon juice.

2 tablespoons red wind vinegar

1 teaspoon granulated sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder.

Again I added some ground cumin, and a bit of chili powder.

Put all of the vegetables in a bowl. In a smaller bowl make the dressing, then pour over veggies and stir well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. I made mine the night before.

 

Hope you try and like it.
