cowboy caviar

You don’t have to live in Texas to appreciate big flavor!  Cowboy Caviar is packed with colorful, fresh ingredients, which also happen to be healthy. Naturally vegan and gluten free, this dish is so tasty, it’s hard to believe it’s just a few easy ingredients that you throw in a bowl and mix together!   The flavor really improves after a couple of hours in the fridge, but if you’re pressed for time, you can whip this up right before your guests arrive.  It’s that easy 🙂
