Creamy Cowboy Caviar Dip FAQ
Yes, it tastes better after a few hours in the fridge as the flavors blend.
It keeps well in the fridge for about three days in a sealed container.
Yes, absolutely. I used cottage cheese because it is higher in protein and lower in fat than mayonnaise. However, even after creaming it to a smooth consistency, if you still don’t prefer cottage cheese, you can always use mayonnaise.
Fritos, tortilla chips, crackers, or sliced veggies all work well.
