Have you heard of Cowboy Caviar? It seems to me that it goes by a ton of different names: Black Bean & Corn Salad, Cowboy Salsa, Black Bean Salsa, the list goes on! No matter what you call it, this delicious dish of black beans, corn, cherry tomatoes, and other goodies is always a crowd pleaser!
Did you know that 84% of Americans have experienced a “snack regret” – eating a snack that leaves you hungry and unsatisfied and makes you feel unhealthy? That’s no fun! That’s part of the reason I am loving keeping some yummy Cowboy Caviar at the ready in my fridge this summer. It’s a filling, tasty, and no-guilt snack!

YUM! Wasa Crackers have been a staple in our household (since I was quite young) for as long as I can remember! Always so crispy and very flavorful. Your recipe looks great and is on my ‘must try’ list for this summer. Thanks for the great recipe and the fabulous giveaway!

I stumbled upon your recipe here googling cowboy caviar for July 4th! I wanted something heartier that could also double as a quasi-meal for vegetarian guests. This fits This fits the bill PERFECTLY thanks to the crispbread addition. I have found a winner and new blog to add to my list. Thank you!!!!

I have tried Wasa Crackers and like them. I bought some around Christmas time and set them out during our festivities with hummus spread. Thank you!

My version is called Texas Cavier but doesn’t have avocado or lime juice in it. I am interested in trying your version. I usually serve it with corn chips but will try some Wasa crackers the next time I go to the store. They look like they might be good with cottage cheese as well.
