My dear friend Beth brought this yummy chunky dip to a going away party we had before moving to Okinawa. I loved the fresh flavors and the mix of black eyed peas, avocado, corn, cilantro, and green onions.
About two months after first trying Beth's, I made it for our neighborhood Labor Day picnic because it's a perfect side dish for large gatherings. Even better, it takes less than ten minutes to make!

I've had cowboy caviar before but never with avocado!! What a great addition...I love avocados!
ReplyDeleteI also make this but black beans instead of black eyed peas, and I add tomatoes. Why haven't I made this all summer?
