Southwest Dip with Corn and Black Beans {AKA Cowboy Caviar}
Cowboy Caviar is the perfect easy and healthy snack or appetizer that everyone will love.
Ingredients
- 1 can organic black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can organic corn, drained
- 1 can organic diced tomatoes w/ green chiles, drained (or Rotel – I use an organic version that I found at Harris Teeter)
- 1 small red onion, diced
- 1 Avocado, diced
- 2-3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2-3 tablespoons tablespoon lime juice
- 3/4 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon sea salt (I use pink Himalayan)
- Pepper to taste
- A few dashes of hot sauce to taste (I love Frank’s)
- **Optional: 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (I add this if I have it but it’s just as good without it)
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients into a large bowl except the extra virgin olive oil, lime juice, pepper, hot sauce and avocado, and stir to combine.
- Next add the extra virgin olive oil, lime juice, pepper and hot sauce and taste. Adjust seasonings accordingly.
- Add the avocado last and give it a final stir. It’s best to add the avocado at the end so it doesn’t get mushy when stirring.
- Chill in the fridge and serve with chips or on top of your favorite burrito bowl.
Notes
This easy dish is perfect to bring to a summer party or enjoy as a healthy snack at home!
