It has such a delicious fresh and vibrant flavor and just the perfect blend of ingredients. One of the all time best chip dips out there if you ask me!

Do You Call it Cowboy Caviar or Texas Caviar?

What do you call this ever so popular chip dip? Cowboy Caviar, Texas Caviar, Black Eyed Pea Salsa or even something else? I'm finding the most common name seems to be Cowboy Caviar, so that's what we'll go with here.

I first tried this bean dip about 10 years ago at a holiday party. I was hooked after one bite. I seriously could not stop eating it. I think I ate at least half of the bowl myself!

I've made it a lot since then and switched things up a bit. I like to use a homemade dressing instead of a bottled Italian dressing, and I like to add avocado because every kind of recipe is better with little bits of creamy avocado, right?

I know it might seem like a lot of ingredients, but this is like the dip of all dips so make it! It will soon be that dip everyone requests at parties. Or just make it for dinner and serve along with some grilled chicken or salmon.
