Hey friends!!! Today I am sharing one of mine and Jacob’s favorite recipes, Cowboy Caviar! I’m actually munching on some right now as I write this! It’s super simple and delicious! You can make it for parties, store it in the fridge and snack on it throughout the week, or make it as a meal. Whichever you decide, it’s sure to be a hit!

Over the years I’ve tried making different variations of this recipe but we never really loved it. I mean it was obviously good enough for us to make it again, but every time I would make it, it just never really hit the spot, if ya know what I mean. So just last week, I decided to try and make it how I wanted and holy cow! We ate it up so quick that I had to make another batch this week. Jacob has asked that I keep a fresh batch in the fridge every week. That’s validation enough for me that I did something right! So now, I am going to share it with you! Hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

These are the ingredients you will need
Dice your tomatoes and bell peppers
Here’s a simple way to pit your avocado. Hit the pit so that the knife is slightly stuck, but not too hard that you’re unable to pull it out
While holding firmly with the opposite hand, push and turn the pit with the knife.
The pit should come right out!
Slice avocados before scooping out with a spoon.
Place all the veggies in a large air tight bowl. I use a large Rubbermaid Bowl.
In a small bowl use a whisk to mix Olive Oil, White Wine Vinegar, and spices
Pour mixture over veggies. I like to keep whisking while I pour it out to make sure everything is dissolved and mixed evenly.
Use a wooden spoon to mix everything together. Or if you want to make it super easy, cover the bowl with the lid and shake it like Shakira!
It should look like this!
Now grab yourself some Tortilla chips and enjoy!! My favorite to use are the Cantina Restaurant Style Tostitos or the Hint of Lime! So good!
