Cowboy Caviar

I discovered Cowboy Caviar at one of our annual weekends with college friends. Everyone always brings dishes to share. I am always very careful with what I eat because of all the dishes, not to mention all the different people serving themselves. Cross contamination kills me. So, I saw the cowboy caviar and asked what it was.  I did not try it since I was uncertain of whether or not her recipe was gluten free. I did however keep it in the back of my mind, knowing I was going to have to try it for myself.

This refreshing and simple to make dish is perfect to bring to any BBQ, potluck or just for a snack.

You can make this as mild or as spicy as you like, for this recipe I used a mild pepper. I also looked at recipes that included avocado and others that did not. I decided to add avocado, but it is optional.
