Cowboy Caviar


Ingredients

Dressing:
1 Tbs sugar
2 Tbs vinegar (plain white/ distilled)
2 Tbs vegetable oil
Juice from 1 lime (about 1 Tbs)
1/4 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper

Mix these together and let sit. 

After making dressing, prepare these:
4 avocados- diced
2-3 tomatoes- diced
2 cups frozen corn
1 can black beans- drained and rinsed
1 can black eyed peas- drained and rinsed
2 cloves garlic- minced

Toss allthese  ingredients in a medium/ large bowl.  Drizzle dressing over top, give it a quick stir to fully incorporate. 

Let sit in fridge for a few hours. 
Then serve with tortilla chips.



Here is a quick tip for easy avocado dicing.
Slice avocado in half, remove pit. 
While still in the peel, use knife to cut through avocado, but don't cut through the peel.
Go both directions, cutting into desired size chunks.
Use a spoon to scoop diced avocado out.
