Have you ever heard of cowboy caviar?  Even being from the South, I think I was late to the game with this yummy dip!  It’s an extremely easy appetizer loaded with fresh veggies and beans to make for any occasion!

Cowboy Caviar

I remember the exact day I was introduced to this amazing cowboy caviar.  I was at dinner at a friend of my mother-in-law’s in Florida a couple of years ago.  This is not my everyday salsa, my friends. It is loaded with TWO KINDS OF beans, corn, tomatoes, avocado and more!

I went home with her recipe and I have been wanting to make it ever since.

My brother and his family are visiting this week from NC for their spring vacation week and I finally decided it was the perfect time to whip up a batch to have as an appetizer.

Plus since it makes a fairly large batch so we also used it as a fabulous topper on Southwestern Rice Bowls for dinner as well.

Serve with your favorite chips.  And be ready to hand out the recipe when you make it for a crowd.
