cowboy caviar


This is one of my kids all times favorites. It is really a dip or side dish but my kids ask for it for dinner all the time.



Cowboy Caviar

1 (15 oz ) cans black beans, rinsed and drained
1 can corn, drained
2 large tomatoes, chopped (or 4 roma tomatoes)
1 large avocado, chopped
1/4 to 1/2 red onion, chopped
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped


Dressing:
1 TBSP red wine vinegar
3-4 Tbsp lime juice
3/4 - 1 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

Directions:
1. Combine first 6 ingredients in large bowl. Mix dressing in separate small bowl and then mix into other ingredients
 
* if you are like me then chips are your nemesis. so i have started baking my own tortilla chips using corn tortillas. i bake mine up just plain with no oil or salt but you can also do it this way. Either way they are still healthier than store bought chips!

  2. They have crinkle sliced carrots at Fred Meyer that you can load up on dip without the calories from chips.
