The Best Cowboy Caviar Salad

5

I always have a ton of bell peppers and never know what to do with them. PROBLEM SOLVED. And in an incredibly addicting way too! This is a must make snack, side or main. We constantly make it on the weekends and my daughter and I graze on it the whole day. I personally cannot get enough of it but do yourself a favor, and don’t forget the tortilla chips when you make it.

And don’t worry if you are missing an ingredient or two. The first time we made it and filmed it, I forgot the jalapeño and green bell pepper and it still tasted awesome. I would say the non negotiable ingredients are a few bell peppers, the beans, avocados, corn, olives and feta.

The dressing is simple and fantastic. We used white balsamic dressing the last time and it was pure perfection. This is just so perfect because its got the protein from the beans and the all the vegetables and creamy feta – its heaven!
