Cowboy caviar is a flavor packed mix between a salad and a salsa. Filled with black beans, black eyed peas, avocado, corn, tomatoes, jalapenos, and more - this cold salad is the perfect party appetizer.
In a very large bowl, add your rinsed beans and prepared onions, peppers, corn, tomatoes, avocado, and cilantro. Set aside.
In a bowl, add all of your dressing ingredients: olive oil, lime juice, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, honey, salt, pepper, cumin, and oregano. Whisk to combine.
Pour dressing over your prepared salad ingredients and gently toss until evenly coated.
Refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving. Will keep for 2-3 days refrigerated in a sealed container.
Notes
Black beans and black eyed peas can be substituted with any other cooked beans.
Cowboy caviar can be made a day ahead, and is best served within a day of preparing. Will keep for 2-3 days in the refrigerator.
Fresh corn, or frozen, thawed corn is recommended. If your corn is still frozen, feel free to toss it straight into the salad, as long as you're not serving it immediately. The small kernels of corn thaw quickly.
Cilantro can be substituted with parsley.
The dressing can be substituted with your favorite vinaigrette or Italian dressing instead.
