Cowboy Caviar
Cowboy Caviar is a chilled salad featuring diced tomatoes, black-eyed peas, black beans, corn, red onion, bell pepper, and cilantro, all tossed in a tangy dressing of olive oil, white wine vinegar, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, and salt. The mix of fresh vegetables and beans creates a colorful dish with a combination of crisp, creamy, and juicy textures. Chilling the salad allows the flavors to meld, providing a fresh, slightly spicy complement to chips or protein dishes.
