My Cowboy Caviar recipe is a genuinely delicious easy dip that can is made in less than 15 minutes. Cowboy Caviar is a perfect dish to bring to a picnic, potluck or family get together.
Easy Dip Recipe
A few years ago, when at a picnic, there was this colorful dip that got my attention. It was served with tortilla chips. The salty chips paired so well with the light, refreshing dip that is was a match made in heaven.
The fresh summer ingredients in Cowboy Caviar looks like chunky salsa, but once the Italian flavors come through, you’ll know that this is a dip recipe all its own.
Delicious Side Dish
This recipe for cowboy caviar is also a fantastic side dish. It is flavorful and vitamin packed. I love to have ti with almost any protein, like grilled chicken or pork chops.
Picnic Side Dish
Since I started making my own Cowboy Caviar, I have learned what my family likes about it and what needed to be changed. While I have seen a lot of cowboy caviar recipes use avocado, my family doesn’t like it, so I tend to leave it out. If you find you would like it in this picnic side dish, one ripe avocado is the amount you would include.
How to Make Cowboy Caviar
The trick to making cowboy caviar is to dice the ingredients, besides the beans, into small pieces. This keeps everything about the same size. Using a good food chopper makes this task so much easier. It works great for this recipe and for any recipe that requires chopping. It is a huge time saver and makes the pieces uniform.
Simple Side Dish
We use Cowboy Caviar as a summer dip, but I also serve it as a side dish. I love to include cowboy caviar as a light side dish. It pairs with almost anything, and the flavor is fantastic. Because it is easy to make, it works great as a side for 30-minute meals. It is naturally vegan and gluten-free that it works for everyone.
