My good friend Steph made a version of this recipe for girls weekend at the cabin and it was a big hit! I have had many different versions of cowboy caviar and I have to say that this sauce recipe is the best! I find it hard to stop eating because it has so many different flavors that your mouth never gets bored. Even though it has a good amount of oil and sugar in it you can still feel good because you are eating a ton of veggies and getting lots of protein and fiber from the beans. This is perfect for a potluck or the upcoming Super Bowl.
