Cowboy Salsa
It is ridiculous how long it has taken me to post this recipe! I honestly thought I had posted it, and then recently a friend asked me to share it with her, and I realized it had never actually been published, only drafted. So here we go….
I love getting together with friends in the summer. The season of barbecues and family get togethers, just hanging out on the deck or at the pool, is one of my favorite times of the year. We also have TONS of summer birthdays in my family, so it feels like almost every weekend we are celebrating something. I know, nothing to complain about, right? One of the struggles of this time of year though, is that often there are not a ton of healthy options at all these events; so I love to bring this when we are attending a summer party. It is delicious on chips as a dip, and it is also great on its own, eaten like a salad, which makes it even healthier. In addition, my kids love it and ask for me to make it all the time, which is another win!
Don’t waste any time; you definitely need to try this soon!
