Let's Make Texas Caviar 

For the dip/salad: In a large mixing bowl, mix all the ingredients for the Texas caviar dip, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours.

Step 1

Chill the avocado (whole and unpeeled) for at least one hour. Take off the pit and slice to add to the salad right before serving to prevent turning brown!

Step 2

If you want, add cooked shrimp. Or heat a dash of oil in a no-stick skillet over medium heat, season the shrimp with salt and pepper, and sauté until just becomes pinkish.

Step 3

For the cowboy caviar dressing: In another bowl or Mason jar, whisk in/shake well all the ingredients for the dressing. Refrigerate covered.
