Easy Cowboy Caviar Recipe

  • Cowboy caviar is a Texas caviar-style dip made with black-eyed peas, black beans, bell pepper, onion, tomato, and jalapeño.
  • It takes 15 minutes total to make and yields about 6 cups.
  • The recipe uses a simple homemade dressing of olive oil, red wine vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, seasoned salt, cumin, and black pepper.
  • The vegetables should be chopped to roughly the same size before mixing.
  • All ingredients are combined in one large bowl, then tossed well and served with tortilla chips.
  • The flavor is described as a cross between pico de gallo and black bean salsa with a tangy Tex-Mex dressing.
  • Cowboy caviar can be served as a dip or spooned onto a plate as a side dish.
  • Corn is an optional add-in; canned or thawed frozen corn both work.
  • Diced avocado can be added, but only just before serving so it stays fresh.
  • It can be made up to 2 days ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days total, though the vegetables lose crunch over time.
