I had been seeing other content creators making cowboy caviar on TikTok, particularly Bria Lemirande, and it just looked so good I had to make a version of it for myself!
Bria makes different versions that all look amazing. What I like about this is that it’s another opportunity to clear out your fridge and I love recipes like that! I used: black and pinto beans, black olives, corn, cilantro, avocado, onion, bell pepper, jalapeno, queso fresco and I made a dressing to go with it. I chopped the veggies pretty small. I could absolutely see myself adding hatch green chile next time or a homemade green sauce or salsa. My husband recently made a green sauce by blending together jalapeños with olive oil, seasoning and some vinegar and it was amazing!
This dip serves a lot of people. It would be great for a BBQ or potluck. I didn’t get a great picture but trust that it’s good! Go check out Bria to see her variations or check out my version below.
