My husband, Jay, has never met a chip and dip he didn't love. I like to throw this together during football season. It is easy to make and keep in the fridge for friends and family that sometimes congregate during the weekend.
Many recipes for cowyboy caviar call for avocados and cilantro, but here is my take on it. Avocados can turn to mush, they need to be perfectly ripe and they aren’t very good left over. As for cilantro- did you know 10% of people find it tastes like soap. Turns out, they share a common smell-receptor gene cluster called OR6A2. I am in this group. So if you love it, add it. Cilantro is a hard no for me.
This dip is great to take to a tailgate or picnic as it is not mayo based and can withstand the summer/fall southern heat.
I have also been known to mix this with pasta, for a great take on pasta salad!
