Fresh Cowboy Caviar Dip Recipe – Healthy Appetizer

Cowboy Caviar Dip will quickly become one of your favorite appetizers to throw together. The flavors are amazing!

Earlier this summer, my family and I made the trek down to Meadow, Utah to spend some time with my husband’s extended family.

While we were there, we had some fun family dinners and my husband’s cute aunt made the most delicious dip. I asked what it was and she responded with “Cowboy Caviar”.

Apparently that’s a pretty popular dish and everyone knows about it . . . except for me!

We have a similar dish on the blog (Black Bean and Corn Salsa), but this one had a little different flavor because of one key ingredient- Italian dressing! I know it sounds weird, but hear me out: THIS STUFF IS AMAZING!

I loved it even more the next day, after the flavors melded together overnight.

Trust me – you will love it!

How to make Cowboy Caviar Dip:

This dip is super simple to make – basically chop everything up and toss it together in a big bowl.

You can make this a day in advance if you need to, just cover it and keep it in the fridge. Give it a good stir before serving.

The secret to the best dip is to dice everything so that it’s about the same size. I try to keep all the vegetables about the size of the black beans.

If you want everything to be the same size, check out our favorite chopper – it works great for onions!
