The BEST Texas Caviar

By srumbel

This version has an added ingredient that's not normally found in other versions: avocado. Don't leave it out. In my opinion it takes the dish from good to stellar. Other versions also use Black Eyed Peas, but I think they're harder to find and cost more than regular beans. So I use regular cans of beans instead and you know what? It tastes the same!

Ingredients

• 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 can great northern beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 can sweet corn, drained
• 3 good sized roma tomatoes, diced
• 1 bunch green onions, sliced
• 2 large avocados, diced
• 1/2 about 1/2 a bunch of fresh cilantro, chopped
• 8 oz {1 cup} Italian dressing ~ I use Good Seasons dressing packets that you mix yourself. It just takes 1 packet, that way you have it in your pantry to make another batch later on!
• 1 small lime, sliced in half {I juice 1/2 the lime into the dish, then use the other half to garnish

Preparation

Step 1

Add all ingredients to a large bowl, including Italian dressing.

Stir.

Serve with taco chips. It's also amazing over chicken tacos or chicken enchiladas. Or quesadillas. Or just eaten by itself, as a snack. YUM.
