A seriously delicious Cowboy Caviar recipe that is perfect for tailgating or your next cookout. Easy to make ahead and perfect for a crowd!
Ingredients
Cowboy Caviar Dressing:
- ¼ cup light olive oil
- ¼ cup fresh lime juice
- zest of 1 lime
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 4 teaspoons cumin
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt more to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Dip Ingredients:
- 15 oz can black beans drained and rinsed
- 15 oz can pinto beans drained and rinsed
- 15 oz can black-eyed peas drained and rinsed
- 15 oz can corn drained
- 3-4 roma tomatoes diced
- 1 avocado diced
- 1 red bell pepper diced
- ½ cup red onion diced
- ½ cup fresh cilantro chopped
- ⅓ cup green onions chopped
- 1 jalapeño minced (remove seeds and membrane)
- 1 tablespoon garlic minced
- for serving: your favorite tortilla chips
Instructions
- Dressing: Add ingredients to a small bowl; whisk to combine. Set aside.
- Add Ingredients: Place 15 oz can black beans, 15 oz can pinto beans, 15 oz can black-eyed peas, 15 oz can corn, ⅓ cup green onions, ½ cup red onion, 3-4 roma tomatoes, 1 avocado, 1 red bell pepper, 1 jalapeño, ½ cup fresh cilantro and 1 tablespoon garlic in a large bowl.
- Pour Dressing: Pour dressing over the cowboy caviar dip ingredients.
- Toss + Taste: Toss to combine and then give it a taste. Feel free to add more salt, lime or cilantro - as desired. Everyone has their own desired level of salt, so I didn't want to add too much.
Notes
- Big Bowl: you are going to need a big bowl for this! I know it's annoying when you only use "half a can" of something so we are using full cans here and the resulting amount is not small! It would be a crowd pleaser for a 4th of July cookout or football tailgating! Of course, feel free to cut in half, if you do want a smaller batch.
- Make Ahead: this is perfect to make ahead the day before and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator - there is some lime in the dressing which will help the avocado not turn too brown, but if you are concerned just add the avocado right before serving the next day.
