Cowboy Caviar is healthy, addicting, easy to make, and by far my favorite appetizer. As usual, this recipe is gluten-free.

A fun part of appetizers is the dishes you use to serve them.

• 1 can corn, drained
• 2 Tablespoons lime juice

Directions

1. Finely chop all the vegetables and cilantro.
2. Combine all the ingredients into a large bowl or large Tupperware container. Stir to combine.

4. Give it another stir before serving. Serve with your favorite tortilla or corn chip. Eat within 2 days.

While you certainly don’t need an excuse to make cowboy caviar (I make it all the time just because I crave it) this would be an excellent appetizer for the 4th of July, Super Bowl, or New Year’s Eve.
