Cowboy Caviar


I came across this recipe recently when I was looking for a healthy side dish to share at a BBQ and it did not disappoint! This colorful and delicious combo can be used as both a dip or a salad topper. It would also taste great over eggs, on top of tacos, or in a tortilla! It's perfect for summer because it requires no cooking whatsoever and is light and refreshing. Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS​:

  • 2 15 oz. cans black beans

  • 2 15 oz. cans black eyed peas

  • 1 red bell pepper

  • 1 green bell pepper

  • 1 orange bell pepper

  • 3 roma tomatoes

  • 1/2 red onion

  • 1/2 bunch fresh cilantro

  • 3 tbsp. olive oil

  • 3 tbsp. lime juice

  • 1 tbsp. balsamic vinegar

  • 1 tsp. chili powder

  • 2 tsp. cumin

  • 1 tsp. sea salt

  • 2 packets stevia (about 1 tsp.)

INSTRUCTIONS:
