Brought to you by The Crown Market – Your One-Stop Shop for Kosher Cooking in West Hartford

Welcome back to Recipes with Raviv, where tradition meets taste, and every week we bring a beloved dish to life in your kitchen. This week, Debbie is giving us the insider scoop on one of our best selling side dishes at the 5 Oclock Shop; our Cowboy Caviar!

And no - there are no fish eggs in this, so do not fret! Inspired by classic street corn, this tossed salad of sorts combines colorful chopped veggies with beans and a light drizzle of lemon juice for a bright, crunchy, and delicious snack that pairs well with all types of entrees. The use of lemon juice instead of an oil based dressing makes this light and citrusy, and the beans give a nice change in texture and add a good protein boost.

If that doesn’t convince you, all we can add is that it is delicious. Even our picky eaters love this dish. But the only way to know for sure is if you make some Cowboy Caviar yourself!
