Ingredients
Dressing
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt , plus more to taste
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- 1 clove garlic , minced
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Cowboy Caviar. Assembly
- 1 (15 oz.) can black beans , drained and rinsed
- 1 (15 oz.) can black eyed peas , drained and rinsed
- 1 small red onion , diced
- 3 roma tomatoes , chopped
- 1 cup fresh or frozen corn (see notes)
- 1 bell pepper , chopped (seeds removed)
- 1 Jalapeño , seeds and white pith removed, and diced
- 1 cup fresh cilantro , chopped
- 1 ripe avocado , diced
Instructions
- In the bottom of a large bowl, combine the olive oil, vinegar, lime juice, salt, maple syrup, garlic, and black pepper. Whisk well to combine.
- To the bowl full of dressing, add in the drained black beans, black eyed peas, red onion, tomato, corn, bell pepper, jalapeno, cilantro, and avocado. Toss gently, coating all of the vegetables in the dressing.
- Let the mixture marinate for 10 minutes, then adjust the seasoning to taste. (I usually like to add another ½ teaspoon of salt.) You can enjoy it as a salad, directly with a fork, or serve it as a dip with chips.
- Leftover cowboy caviar can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 48 hours. If you want to make this salad in advance, I recommend waiting to add in the avocado and cilantro until right before serving. (This will help prevent browning and a soggy texture.)
Notes
- Nutrition information is for roughly 1 1/3 cups of salad. This information is automatically calculated and is just an estimate, not a guarantee.
- Corn Note: Frozen corn thaws very quickly, so you don't need to thaw it ahead of time. I rinse it under running water in a fine mesh strainer, shake it dry, then add it directly to the salad. It will be thawed by the time you serve it.
