I fell in love with this amazingly addicting dip made by a friend of mine at a social gathering. I just had to have this zesty cowboy caviar dip recipe and immediately made it when I got home!
The key is Balsamic vinegar instead of the normal red wine vinegar you find in other cowboy caviar recipes. I could literally drink balsamic straight from the bottle, it’s so yummy! It adds a zing that tastes so different from your normal pico de gallo or other fresh salsa.
