Delicious Cowboy Caviar is always a big hit for any game night, party, or just to have as the weekly snack ready in the fridge. And packed with veggies, it's a great health conscious dish! It's sweet, tangy, and pairs well with chips! Its not a salsa, but dips like one. If you enjoy western meals you'll enjoy this hands down!

**It should keep a week well in a sealed container. I, myself, prepare this once a week to enjoy with my family as a fun, flavorful snack or for parties!
**Bonus! You could sauté the corn and onions, to add a smoky char flavor for added spice! Sautéed with a dash of pepper is delicious!
