I changed the typical Cowboy Caviar to make it a quick and easy appetizer. Chop everything the same size. This is great with Tostito's Scoops.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

If you find yourself always gravitating towards cowboy caviar at a party, try Rosina's version. Everyone puts their own spin on it and she uses corn, tomatoes, black beans, onions, and green pepper. They all pair well with the tangy vinegar sauce. We decided to add a few dashes of hot sauce and it brought this dip to another level. Chill or enjoy right away. Make sure to have plenty of tortilla chips handy when serving.
