A Super Dip Recipe for the Super Bowl

This recipe is one that my friend Sherrie  makes and will bring into work occasionally. When she does, we all love her even more than we normally do! She got this zippy, extremely flavorful and totally healthy way to enjoy “dip” from her friend Cynthia. The way I see it, whether it’s Sherrie, Cynthia or both I have to thank for this one, I’m just glad  it made it’s way  to my recipe file! Enjoy it  on your chips this weekend…your baked chips, right? 😉

Cowboy Caviar

• Dressing
  • 4 Tbs. red wine vinegar
  • 4 tsp. Tabasco sauce
  • 3 tsp. olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • juice of 1 lime

• Caviar
  • 1 can of black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can of corn, drained
  • 1 ripe avocado, chopped
  • 4 green onions, chopped
  • 1/2 bunch of cilantro, chopped
  • 5 roma tomatoes, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

Mix all ingredients for the caviar in a large bowl and set aside. In a smaller bowl, mix together the ingredients for the dressing, stir together and then pour over caviar. Black beans  have  a tendency to soak up the flavors they are combined with, so if you like things spicy, let it sit for a few hours in the fridge before serving. Otherwise, it’s ready to go. Like I said earlier, this is good with baked chips or crackers. I have also put it on top of a bed of spinach and romaine and eaten it as a salad. Both ways are yummy! Enjoy!
