Cowboy Caviar Recipe
I don’t know if I should call this a salsa or a dip. It’s a little of both I guess. Whatever you want to call it, all I know is this Cowboy Caviar has so much flavor bursting with each bite…it’s really hard to stop eating.
My favorite way to serve this Cowboy Caviar Recipe is with tortilla chips, but it also goes great with pita bread or veggies.

- 1 can corn, drained and rinsed or 1.5 cups of fresh corn
- 3 Roma tomatoes, diced
- 2 diced avocados
- 1/4 cup red onion, diced

- Juice of 1 lime
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup Italian dressing
- Place beans, corn, tomatoes, avocado, onion and cilantro into a large mixing bowl.
- Squeeze lime juice over the avocados so they don’t brown as quickly. Sprinkle on salt and pour in Italian dressing. Stir until well combined.
