It’s possible you’ve never heard of Cowboy Caviar (AKA Texas Caviar). But, it’s a colorful cross between salsa and a bean salad that works great as an appetizer.
If you’ve got a New Years Eve party coming up or just a get together, this could be the perfect addition! It’s loaded with vegetables and beans.
Cowboy Caviar is commonly served as a topping for a tortilla chip, just as a salsa would be.
