Description

Cowboy Caviar is a mixture of fresh spring vegetables with a sprinkle of a cilantro lemon vinaigrette.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Fresh Corn, Cut Off The Cob
  • 1 whole Red Bell Pepper, chopped
  • 1 whole Zucchini, Chopped
  • ½ whole Red Onion, Sliced
  • 1 whole Avocado, Chopped
  • 1 whole Lemon, Juiced
  • ¼ cups Fresh Cilantro
  • 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil

Preparation

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the corn, bell pepper, and zucchini and saute for about 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are just cooked. Remove from the pan and set aside. In a large bowl, combine the sauteed vegetables, red onion, and avocado and gently mix. In a small food processor, combine the lemon, cilantro (reserve 1 tablespoon for garnish) and olive oil. Process for about 20 seconds until the cilantro is just cut down into smaller pieces. Drizzle this dressing over the vegetables and season with salt and pepper as needed. Sprinkle the last tablespoon of fresh cilantro over the top and serve.

This is so fresh tasting! Perfect as a spread for our black bean burgers and good on tortilla chips, too! I just chopped the cilantro because I don’t have a food processor & whisked it together with the lemon juice and the olive oil–it worked just fine.

Thanks for this recipe!

Love this! I just found the recipe last week and have made it twice. First time I followed the recipe, and the next time I used an orange instead of red pepper (because that’s what I had on hand) and didn’t use an avacado) didn’t have one. Turned out great both ways! I also used some leftover in an omelet and it was amazing!
