Hey Food Finders!

My "Yankee" Cowboy Caviar would make a great offering for a Labor Day Picnic! I call this “Yankee” Cowboy Caviar because I’m a born and bred Yankee who used to live in Cowboy Country Montana. But in reality, the dish is a pretty traditional, delicious, and healthy Southern staple. Not only does it taste SO good, it’s also loaded with nutrients from a variety of beans, vegetables, herbs, and seasonings. It’s the perfect bean salad dip for anyone watching their health.

I made this for the first time last year during the holidays for entertaining and it was a huge hit with my friends. I’ve been making it ever since because I love it so much.
