Cowboy Caviar

[mtngal]

From Sunset Magazine (March 1997)

In a large bowl mix
2 T vinegar
2 T hot sauce
1 ½ T olive oil
1 clove crushed garlic

Cut 1 avocado in ½" mince and add to vinegar mixture

Drain and rinse
1 can black eyed peas
1 can corn
1 can sliced olives

Add along with to dressing mixture
2/3 c sliced green onions
2/3 c chopped fresh cilantro
1 c coarsely chopped Roma Tomatoes

Serve with tortilla chips

(my notes......sometimes I use black beans instead of black eyed peas, frozen corn instead of canned, add fresh lime juice. For a quick version I skip the salad dressing ingredients and use a prepared fresh salad from grocery produce department)

p.s. it's great with a BL lime : )

Yum! I'll eat almost anything with cilantro and lime in it....Going to Laughlin end of this month for a week for Bike Week, this may be on the menu.

Didn't Carolyn/Sunshinecruiser make this at the AR GTG last year?

Hmmmm....can't remember...yeah, maybe she did, but don't think it had cilantro in it...'course you know those folks from Tenn...just sayin'....
