Spring, summer, winter, fall, this recipe is for them all! Although cowboy caviar dominates in summer, this is a great dish to simply always make. It can be served as a salsa, added to a salad, on top of grilled chicken, in a wrap, in tacos, as a bruschetta (or actual caviar ;] ), oh the possibilities are endless!

- 2 C olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
Directions:
- In a bowl, whisk olive oil, lime juice, and salt.

How do I add That Certain Touch to this cowboy caviar? It’s all about the lime & cilantro from me. If you haven’t already noticed from my posts, when I have an opportunity to use cilantro and lime, I really use it. Be sure to squeeze out all the lime juice you can from the lime & finely chop the cilantro so it’s flavors will be more prominent.
