It was a great moment when I was introduced to Cowboy Caviar. I became instantly intrigued when someone brought it to one of our parties. I had never heard of it before and never got the chance to taste it since it quickly disappeared. Knowing that I was going to have to try to recreate it for myself, I kept it in the back of my mind.
This is amazingly refreshing, simple to make and a wonderful dish to bring to any party or to simply have at home for a delicious snack.
I looked at recipes that included avocado and others that did not. I decided to add avocado, but it is optional. You can make this as mild or as spicy as you like, for this recipe I used a mild pepper.
With the holiday season rapidly approaching, this Cowboy Caviar is the perfect quick dish to delight everyone.
