Instructions
- Rinse and thoroughly drain the black eyed peas and black beans if using canned.
- In a large bowl mix together the black eyed peas, black beans, corn, bell pepper, red onion, and jalapeños.
- Add the vinaigrette ingredients to a high speed blender and blend for 5-10 seconds, or until emulsified. Alternatively, a food processor or a bowl with a whisk can be used.
- Pour the vinaigrette over the bean salad and toss until well coated. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
- Just before serving, add chopped cilantro and toss to combine.
- Serve as a side salad or as a dip with tortilla chips. Enjoy!
Notes
- Beans: Mix well and drain before adding.
- Prep-Ahead: Make the dried black-eyed peas, dried beans, and fresh corn if using. Mix up the vinaigrette up to 3 days in advance. Keep the veggies and dressing separate in the refrigerator until ready to mix and serve. Or, completely make the dish except for the cilantro up to 24 hours ahead of time.
- Storage: Seal in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3-5 days.
- Freezing: It is not recommended to freeze Texas caviar as the texture will change quite a bit after thawing.
