Texas Caviar Bean Dip

You hear, The Secret is in the Sauce, which is true for this recipe. It involves some prepping, and a tiny bit of cooking, but overall the time involved is well worth it.

You may like it Southern style, the way my friend Robyn makes it, or a little healthier made with jicama (yum), or without the beans, how about making a Cowboy Pasta Salad, the way my friend Amy makes it?

Don’t forget my Pineapple Caviar Pineapple Dip (yummmmm!), and Cowboy Caviar Quinoa is a mashup of the classic cowboy caviar salsa and a healthy quinoa side, from Oh Sweet Basil.

If you leave out the avocados, it’s great leftover!

The next day, add more veggies and enjoy for another party!

Margaritas, bowls of guacamole and chips, tacos and the gathering of good friends are all signs of a successful Cinco de Mayo fiesta.

What’s your favorite Mexican dish to take to a party?
