Cowboy Caviar.

I love that name.

I may not be rich enough for real caviar, yet, but I will eat this any day in the mean time. My mom always made an attempt to make a special meal on New Years Eve and this dish was part of mine. I made an egg and avocado sandwich with a gouda cheese spread, somehow I don't have any photos, and whipped up an enormous batch of cowboy caviar on the side. It was perfect because I had plenty to bring for a night of celebrating. It went over without a hitch, we even managed to go through two bags of chips!
