Cowboy Caviar

So many of you have been asking for this recipe and I apologize..I’m late with it, per my usual these days. I hope that fall weather brings with it a stronger desire to blog more regularly. This recipe is AMAZING and not in a “Oh that was good” type of way. More in a “I could live off this for weeks and weeks” sort of way. Which is kind of ironic, because I DID live off of it for 2 weeks before my wedding (and lost 6 pounds). So there you have it. Enjoy, friends 🙂

Yes, stores do sell something called Cowboy Caviar, but it’s loaded with sugar and preservatives. GROSS! Special shoutout to my amazing mom for recreating it with this recipe. She rocks.

You Will Need:
corn cut from the cob, 2 ears worth!
1 can garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup red onion, diced
1 bell pepper, diced
1 cucumber, diced
olive oil
balsamic vinegar
garlic salt, pepper

1. Mix all ingredients in a large bowl.
2. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic.
3. Sprinkle lightly with garlic salt and pepper.
4. Enjoy! Refrigerate after making. Admittedly, it’s much better after it sits for a day or so!

The best part about this is that you can serve it with tortilla chips, on top of a spinach salad…really, whatever moves you!
