HOW TO MAKE COWBOY CAVIAR
Because this is SO DELICIOUS, I’m sharing with you today….. how I make COWBOY CAVIAR. This vibrant, veggie-packed mix embodies the essence of summer picnics and barbecues. This recipe was shared with me from a wonderful family friend. I was IN LOVE as soon as I tasted it! It’s not only delicious, but colorful and so pretty to look at. For me, I prefer to eat on the lighter side throughout the heat of the summer months. Cowboy Cariar is so lite and yet has all the nutrition you’ll need to feel your best!
This recipe combines the fresh crunch of various vegetables, including bell peppers, fresh corn, tomatoes, black beans, red onion, avocado, and a yummy bottled dressing that brings all these flavors together. The best part? It requires minimal effort in the kitchen, making it a go-to option even for those who don’t like to cook, like me!
Simply chop the veggies, mix in the beans and avocado very last, and toss it all with the dressing. The result is a delicious medley of textures and taste, perfect for scooping onto tortilla chips or even as a side dish alongside grilled chicken or beef. It also goes well with eggs, or possibly inside of a wrap.
As an added bonus COWBOY CARIAR keeps really well in the refrigerator. You’ll have a quick and satisfying meal for days, allowing you to enjoy all that summer brings! So whether you’re hosting a summer gathering or looking for a hassle-free and healthy meal option, this easy-to-make COWBOY CARIAR is a winner for any of your summer plans!

Looks great but how much of each do you use?
Judi you just put in what looks good to your own eye. I used about a half of each of the peppers, a whole avocado, 2 ears of corn, a whole can of the beans. I hope that makes sense to you? Let me know, and happy eating to you! XO

Maribeth I bet the Feta makes it so good. Does it go soggy after it sits a couple of days? There are so many versions of this, and we are hooked! Such a healthy way to eat during the hot summer months! ENJOY and thank you so much for stopping by! Come back again soon! XO
