A fresh, bright, and no-bean twist on classic cowboy caviar featuring mango and avocado for a lighter, vibrant dish perfect for summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
  • 1 large avocado, peeled and diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 medium yellow bell pepper, diced
  • 1/2 small red onion, finely chopped (optional)
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon honey or agave syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 small jalapeño, seeded and finely diced (optional)
  • 1/4 cup toasted pepitas or pumpkin seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Dice the mango into roughly 1/2-inch cubes and carefully dice the avocado the same size, handling gently to avoid mushiness.
  2. Halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the red and yellow bell peppers, and finely chop the red onion and jalapeño if using.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, fresh lime juice, honey, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  4. Gently fold together mango, avocado, tomatoes, peppers, onion, cilantro, and jalapeño in a mixing bowl. Pour dressing over and toss lightly to coat without mashing avocado.
  5. If using, toast pepitas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes until fragrant and lightly browned. Let cool.
  6. Chill the cowboy caviar in the fridge for at least 15 minutes before serving to let flavors meld.

Notes

Use ripe but firm mango and avocado for best texture and flavor. Gently fold ingredients to avoid mashing avocado. Chill at least 15 minutes before serving to meld flavors. Substitute honey with agave or maple syrup for vegan version. Toast pepitas separately and add before serving for crunch.
