This cowboy caviar concludes my series of graduation party appetizers. Be sure to file these recipes away for the next time you're in need of some party bites. Like I said, each of the appetizers seemed to pleased the masses and people were still digging into them long after dinner was served.
I had been meaning to make my mom's cowboy caviar, especially after I saw the recipe on Greens and Chocolate a few weeks ago. Taylor's recipe differs slightly from my mom's, although I imagine her version is just as good. I grew up loving this particular recipe and it remains one of my favorite partners for tortilla chips!

Mmm, cowboy caviar is definitely one of my favorite dishes. Everything is so good in it! I usually make mine with lime juice and balsamic for acidity, but I'll have to give red wine vinegar a try!
I like to eat it with just a spoon haha.
