I hope you had a nice holiday weekend!  We spent ours at our friends’ Lake House on Lake Keowee in South Carolina.  Our days were spent on the boat or in the water lounging on rafts.  I absolutely loved waking up to their waterfront view.  Although I am years from retirement, it certainly gives you food for thought as to where you want to retire!

Last week I shared my Fabulous Feta Dip recipe that I took to a party.  I also took this Texas Caviar dip and the two paired nicely together.  If you love citrus flavors like me, you will love my version of Texas Caviar.

My Version of Texas Caviar

Texas Caviar is a bean dip that has been around for a long time.  It’s one of the healthiest dips you can make.  The original recipe calls for bottled Italian dressing.  I much prefer using fresh lime juice, olive oil and garlic for my dressing.  The lime juice brightens the dish and adds a fabulous citrus flavor.  A perfect pairing with salty tortilla chips.

Recipe Notes

The Birdseye Steamfresh corn is my favorite.  There are no added ingredients.  Just corn.

The best way to serve Texas Caviar is with Tostitos Scoops.  It is so much easier to scoop up the bean dip with this type of chip.

Thanks for stopping by.
