This cowboy caviar is such a tasty and easy chip dip. It has guacamole feel, but I like it better. It is also great used as a salsa on tacos or other mexican dishes.

This has been a favorite of my family for years. We like to add a bit of Worcestershire sauce (maybe 1-2 tbl. spoons). Also everyone thinks that it's better the day after, so we put it in the fridge overnight to let the flavors really come together.
I love this too!
Thank you for sharing this. I love this stuff!
I made some last night and can't stop eating it. In fact, I'm eating some at my desk right now. I added some garlic granules to give a little more flavor, but that's the only addition I had. So, so good! Mmmm!
I paired this with your Chicken Lime Tacos and they were perfect! Looking for an excuse to make it again!
If you make this ahead will the avacados get brown the way guacamole does?
Yes, I wouldn’t make it more than a few hours ahead of time. It tastes best fresh.
LOVE THIS!!! I substituted black-eyed peas (for a NYE dish) and added a little chopped orange bell pepper. It is incredible!!! I may never eat any other salsa again… Happy New Year to you and your readers!
Thank you so much! Great idea with the black-eyes peas! I will have to try that next time. Best wishes to you for 2014!
I also use diced red onion and I roast my corn
Yummy! Will do this soon, and taking in all the suggestions. Cumin comes to mind………
Yes, I love Cumin. Great suggestion!
oops should say I roast fresh corn
