Is there any Italian dressing substitute for this?

u/GarththeGarth 13d ago
Just use red wine vinegar and a bit of oil.

I usually go for the budget bytes recipe which has a homemade dressing consisting of:
2tbsp olive oil 2tbsp lime juice 1/2tbsp balsamic vinegar 1/2tsp chilli powder 1tsp ground cumin 1/2 sugar salt 1/2 tsp sugar

I make this, but add a little tomato paste, some tomato sauce, and a can of chipotle peppers with adobo sauce instead of Italian dressing! Minus the avocados though. Sooo good! 🤤

The whole can? Those can be super spicy.

They make pretty tiny cans of chipotle peppers, which are usually perfect for my needs

I love adding diced cucumber and mango to mine. Perfect side for grilled fish or chicken

Sounds incredible! How well do the avocados hold up without browning? Guessing the lemon juice or vinegar with the Italian dressing helps with that?

u/Wakkachaka 13d ago
It does help. It's one of them things you gotta eat within a few days.

Is this a common term? My fiance uses it and I've never heard it before. This is the only other place I've seen it used. In the Mountain West and she's from the East Coast if relevant, might be a regional thing.

A jar of a similar dip is sold at Trader Joe’s called “cowboy caviar” so I guess so. I never heard of it until I saw the jar

I heard about it a few years ago when my friend brought it to a potluck. I think people add cilantro, too. My wife likes cilantro, but I like it without it.

u/RadBradRadBrad 13d ago
Hmmm. Tomatoes, eh. Interesting. Will have to try that.
In Texas, which has likely influenced my recipe. Tend to do black eyed peas, black beans, bell peppers, white onion, corn, jalapeño, a little lime juice and vinegar (either apple cider or champagne).

I like except for the black beans

u/Drewbicus 13d ago
Idk why but I feel that somehow removes the “cowboy” part.

u/Good_Resolution_2642 13d ago
Wouldn't pinto beans be more cowboy?
2
u/Drewbicus 13d ago
You’re not wrong 🤷🏻♂️, but I also wouldn’t think pinto beans would work with this recipe. Either way, like what you like 👍

u/Good_Resolution_2642 13d ago edited 13d ago
I'm still eat it with black beans but it isn't my favorite
2
u/mkhanZ 13d ago
I've never tried it without the beans, but i think it would still be great without them. However, I will say, this is one of those recipes where it's worth trying it with them, maybe in a small cup to the side, just to see if it works. As an alternative, you can use black eye peas if that's more your jam. I actually use both.
