Fresh Cowboy Caviar is a bold, colorful dip packed with black-eyed peas, black beans, corn, tomatoes, and a tangy homemade dressing. It comes together in minutes and gets better the longer it sits. Serve it with tortilla chips, over grilled meat, or eat it straight from the bowl.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1/3 cup white wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Juice of 1/2 a lime
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (optional, up to 1/4 cup if preferred)
  • 1 pound Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced
  • 1 (15-ounce) can black-eyed peas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (11-ounce) can super sweet corn, drained
  • 1 red onion, diced
  • 1 cup red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, white wine vinegar, chili powder, cumin, lime juice, salt, and sugar if using. Whisk until fully combined and slightly emulsified. Taste and adjust salt or sugar as needed.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, add the diced Roma tomatoes, black-eyed peas, black beans, corn, red onion, red bell pepper, and fresh cilantro. Make sure all canned ingredients are well-drained before adding them to the bowl.
  3. Pour the dressing over the mixture and toss thoroughly until everything is evenly coated. Every bean and vegetable should be covered with dressing.
  4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. This allows the flavors to blend and the dressing to soak in.
  5. Before serving, give it a good stir and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve chilled with tortilla chips, over grilled meat, or straight from the bowl.

Notes

  • Drain all canned ingredients well. Extra moisture will water down the dressing.
  • If you prefer a sweeter dip, add up to 1/4 cup of sugar to the dressing.
  • This dip tastes best after sitting for at least 1 hour, but overnight is even better.
  • You can swap white wine vinegar for apple cider vinegar if needed.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • If you dislike cilantro, leave it out or replace it with flat-leaf parsley.
