Cowboy Caviar

Cowboy Caviar, a deliciously easy bean salsa, loaded with peppers, tomatoes, corn, and avocado, and served with tortilla chips. A great appetizer or snack!

Salsa is a go-to for us and we can’t complain when there are chips and dip near by. Try these salsa recipes for your next family night in: Cowboy Caviar Salsa, Bean Salsa with Honey Lime Vinaigrette,  Mango Avocado Salsa or Restaurant Style Blender Salsa.

Cowboy Caviar is a bean salsa

This is one of my all time favorite things to eat. I love making a big bowl full, and enjoying it on summer nights while playing UNO, or watching a movie.

It doesn’t hurt that my kids love it, and it is super easy to make.

I serve this as a “salsa” with chips, but it is also amazing in tacos, on top of salad, or plain. What’s your favorite way to eat CowBoy Caviar?

Can I make ahead

Yes! You can make it up to 4 hours ahead, reserving the avocado for right before you serve it.

It can get a little watery if you make it too early.

What goes good with this recipe

Mexican food is always fun to go with this dip.

Try adding it as a side to Low Carb Steak Fajita Roll-Ups or Tilapia Fish Tacos.

Your family will love all the flavors in each dish!

Can I freeze it?

Unfortunately, no this is not a great dip to freeze and have again. It will be too watery and not taste fresh.

Cooking variations

One of the beauties of this dish, is you can add in or leave out according to your preference, sometimes I add in cucumber chunks or kidney beans.

Mix and match fresh vegetables that you enjoy! Let me know the way you like your Cowboy Caviar!

What chip is best?

I always say the saltier the better! haha, I do love a good salted chip on dip like this. It is a little salty and sweet vegetable combination.

As a tip I encourage you not to add any salt. It may taste like it needs some, but typically chips are salty, which makes this particular dip too salty if you add salt.

If serving it without chips, or with salt free chips, include a pinch of salt to taste.
