This Cowboy Caviar recipe is the ultimate summer side dish! It comes with an easy homemade dressing or use Greek or Italian for an even quicker shortcut.
Place the dip ingredients in a large bowl. Toss to combine. Pour dressing on top and toss to coat evenly.
Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve. This can be prepared a day in advance.
If preparing ahead of time: Toss with 1 tablespoon lime juice just before serving. You may also choose to slice up the avocado until just before serving for ultimate freshness.
Notes
Storage:
Store in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 5 days.
I like to add saran wrap right over the surface to seal out as much air as possible.
Pro Tips:
Lime juice helps avocados maintain their freshness and color, so I like to give them a light coating of it after I've sliced them up.
This avocado slicer makes cutting up the avocado and removing the pit clean and easy.
Tomatoes can also be added to the mix, Roma tomatoes are best as they don't have as much juice.
A variety of beans can also be used, including chickpeas, black eyed peas, and pinto beans.
If substituting Greek or Italian Salad Dressing, use just over 1/3 cup.
