Cowboy Caviar is a vibrant, healthy, and flavor-packed dip or salad made with black beans, black-eyed peas, corn, veggies, and a zesty lime vinaigrette. It’s naturally gluten-free, easy to make, and perfect for parties, meal prep, or summer cookouts.

Ingredients

  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can black-eyed peas, drained and rinsed
  • 1½ cups corn (canned, frozen, or fresh)
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 2 Roma tomatoes, diced
  • ½ red onion, diced
  • 1 jalapeño, finely chopped (optional)
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • ¼ cup fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine black beans, black-eyed peas, and corn.
  2. Add diced red and green bell peppers, tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño (if using), and cilantro. Toss to mix.
  3. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Pour dressing over the bean and vegetable mixture. Toss to combine well.
  5. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving for best flavor.

Notes

  • Add diced avocado just before serving for creaminess.
  • Mix in chopped mango or pineapple for a fruity twist.
  • For more spice, use extra jalapeño or add hot sauce.
  • Swap in pinto or kidney beans, or add cooked quinoa for added protein.
