On the Tailgate Menu: Cowboy Caviar

We are lovers of chips and dip and Cowboy Caviar is something that my daughter suggested for this weekend (and threw together)! A great addition to the tailgate menu!

I got this recipe off of Pinterest (of course) courtesy of Everintransit.com

Ingredients:

Dressing:

• 1/3 cup olive oil

• 1/4 cup red wine vinegar

• 2 cloves garlic, pressed

• 1 teaspoon cumin

• Salt and pepper to taste (may be spiced with Tobasco)

Solid Stuff:

• 1 can black-eyed peas, drained (or black, white or pinto beans)

• 1 can corn

• 1 cup green onions, chopped

• 1 cup cilantro, chopped

• 1 red onion, chopped

• 1 cup tomatoes, seeded and chopped (or unseeded Roma tomatoes)

• 2 avocados, diced (more or less to taste)

Directions:

1. Combine the dressing mix in a large bowl, then add in the rest of the ingredients. Serve with tortilla chips.

Notes:

This was as easy as it sounds, just a lot of chopping involved. Ours turned out a bit creamier than the picture on Pinterest showed, probably would have helped to rinse and drain the black-eyed peas. It tasted great and the leftovers will be divine!
