Ingredients

Servings
  • 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 (15 ounce) black-eyed pea canned, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (11 ounce) corn canned, drained
  • 1 red bell pepper small, seeded, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper small, seeded, diced
  • ¼ cup onion sweet, diced
  • cilantro optional garnish, fresh, squeeze of juice
  • parsley
  • lime
  • pita chip or tortilla chip, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, whisk together vinegar, oil, sugar, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, whisking occasionally. Remove from heat and cool completely (at least 30 minutes).
  2. In a large bowl, combine black-eyed peas, corn, bell peppers and onion. Add cool dressing and toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours (or overnight).
  3. Drain off any excess dressing just before serving.
  4. Garnish with fresh herbs or lime juice, if desired, and serve with pita chips or tortilla chips.

Notes

  • This Texas Caviar recipe uses apple cider vinegar, but you can substitute with regular white vinegar in a pinch.
  • The Cowboy Caviar dressing is made with vinegar and sugar. You can increase or decrease the amount of sugar in your dressing, to taste. As written, this is just a slightly sweet dressing – it’s not overpowering.
  • Make Texas Caviar with Black Beans: you can substitute black beans for the black eyed peas in this recipe. If you like, try a combination of both black beans and black eyed peas by using 1 can of each!
  • Prepare Cowboy Caviar with Avocado by adding diced avocado to the salad just before serving.
  • Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, sliced green onion, fresh parsley, or a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
