HELP! Question with Cowboy Caviar Recipe

Some time ago someone posted the recipe for Cowboy Caviar. I'm going to bring it to a Super Bowl party tomorrow and I have a question.

It says to mix it up and let is set overnight but do I add the avacado now or at the last minute tomorrow? (I don't want it to turn brown on me.)

Don't know that recipe but I just heard that a trick to keep guac from turning brown is to leave the pit in it until ready to serve. I'd never heard that before but I'm going to try it.

Leaving the pit in does work.

nothingtolose turned us on to that

I think I put the avocado in - it's got lime juice which should prevent the browning. but if you are uncomfortable with that add it tomorrow. it shouldn't matter either way.

Thanks, mbw1024. I think I'll wait and add it tomorrow to be on the safe side.

I'm laughing at the name. Sounds a lot like the Mississippi Caviar I've had, the Delta Caviar, the "Name your southern city/town/general trait Caviar"

Whatever you call it, it's good

We call ours Garbage Dip.

I was almost afraid to look when I saw the title. I though it might be one of those "delicacies" that involve normally not eaten parts of a cow....after I got that out of my head, it looks to be pretty good!

Thanks for the recipe!
