Cowboy caviar. Even if it didn't taste absolutely wonderful, I'd still eat it, because the name indicates that this is an unpretentious food for tough cowpokes with a sense of humor.
This is the perfect way to enjoy fresh veggies from the garden (with avocados and lime from the store if your are a North-Eastern Cowgirl such as myself). The dressing will make it difficult to stop snacking. This is the kind of snack you can pair with side items to make a satisfying meal.
