Beach, Boat, & BBQ Caviar

Beach Caviar

You may have seen something like this recipe referred to as “cowboy caviar.”  Well, I’m not a cowboy, but we are at the beach and on the boat a lot so I created my own version and I have been packing this for us to snack on.  It is so good and fresh to have at any outdoor happening and it comes together in minutes.  As an extra bonus it is full of plant-based protein, fiber, and veggies.  Give it a try wherever you might be this Labor Day weekend!
