Method
 

  1. Combine the dressing ingredients and set aside.
  2. Place the dip ingredients in a large bowl. Toss to combine. Pour dressing on top and toss to coat evenly.

Notes

Cowboy Caviar is a great make-ahead dish, perfect for parties and gatherings. For the best flavor, let it sit for a few hours in the fridge before serving. Add the avocado just before serving to maintain its fresh color and texture.
