This is my variation of Cowboy Caviar. My mother got it from a friend, and passed it on to me (thanks, Mom!). It is a favorite with my side of the family, and my in-laws enjoy it very well, too. It makes a pretty big batch, but you'll be surprised at how quickly it vanishes! Avocado will turn brown, so don't make this too far in advance.

SERVES 8 -10 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 (11 ounce) can white shoepeg corn, drained
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
2 firm-ripe avocados, finely chopped
1 large tomato, seeded and diced
1 bunch green onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 garlic clove, minced
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon cumin
tortilla chips (I prefer Tostitos Scoops)

Directions

1
Combine all ingredients (except chips) and toss together gently.
2
Serve room temperature with tortilla chips.

Wow! This is so good. It was gobbled up so fast! Everyone loved it. I added some chopped cilantro and squeezed 1/2 lime on it. It was so yummy! I can't wait to make this again and would definately double the recipe if it is for a crowd. We had 5 adults here and it was gone in 10 minutes. Delish!

Refreshing on a hot summer day. The changes I made were to add extra garlic & a home grown jalapeno for some heat. I also didn't have any canned corn, so I used thawed frozen corn. I like the texture of frozen vs. canned corn better in general. I mixed the beans and corn with the dressing the day before and let it sit to soak up the flavors, then the next day added the rest of the ingredients. I served with tortilla chips. Will enjoy this often.

DH made this for our 4th bar-b-q and everyone loved it. Quite a change from our usual tomatoe and onion salsa. We followed some of the other reviewers and added lime, jalepenos, garlic and cilantro and served it with scooper fritos. Didn't have white corn so just used regular yellow with no problem. Loved the avacodoes in it. It made a lot so great for a big gathering, tasted even better the next day after all the flavors had a chance to mingle. Thanks for posting.

I made this for a family cookout and my family loved it. My brother-in-law said it was his new favorite thing! I added one extra clove of garlic and added some fresh lime juice. We loved it!
