Texas Caviar – Updated

I first wrote about this dip back in 2015 in Aunt Amy & Uncle Mike’s Texas Caviar (click for link to original post). Since that date I have made a few minor revisions to the recipe to improve upon it (at least to me). It is still a deliciously easy dip that is even better when it sits overnight so you can easily be ready to serve it when your guests arrive.

Verdict:

This is delicious if you like the taste of vinegar.  We have made this with apple cider vinegar (my favorite), white vinegar (less tart and more mellow) and balsamic vinegar.  All work well. The longer the dip sits, I recommend at LEAST 3-4 hours but 8 up to 12 is really best.

Serve with tortilla chips, pita chips, or a spoon!
