Cowboy Caviar

Cowboy Caviar This recipe comes from my Dad’s side of the family, but I think each family has their own version. I happen to love ours. :) I love that you get that coolness from the avocados with some crunch from the peppers. I love the sweet and a hint of spicy… mmmmm so yummy. And, it’s easy!!
We made this a little bit back for our friend’s birthday party BBQ and it’s the perfect take a long dish. You don’t have to worry about keeping it hot or decorating it etc. Just toss it all together and serve with chips. Perfect!

  1. I've heard of this, and sure I've eaten something similar, but can't say that I've officially had cowboy caviar. I know I would like it. I like that it has corn in it. I like corn a lot these days.
