hot sauce (such as Cholula)

kosher salt

c. black beans

red onion, finely chopped

c. corn kernels

c. cherry tomatoes, quartered

black-eyed peas

orange bell peppers, chopped

avocado, chopped

Tortilla chips,

I made this tonight but added garbanzo beans instead of corn. Garlic powder, an Anaheim pepper, two jalapenos (one with seeds) some Italian dressing, salt, and the rest of the recipe. It turned out great 👍

Made this as a Super Bowl snack for my husband, who’s on a vegan diet for health reasons. The only hot sauce I found in the fridge was Tabasco Scorpion so I might’ve overdone the heat a bit. He loved it though.

This is definitely "delish." I have made this tasty recipe too many times to count, and it's always very enjoyable and healthy at the same time!

I make one similar to this but I dice an
avocado or two in it.  Use green onion instead of red.  Salt and pepper and garlic to Taste and a splash of red wine vinegar.  The avocado is a must add!

And practically required to make this once a week!

I make one very similar -- That's the marvel of this recipe, you don't like jalapeno, you leave it out.  This is very much a custom recipe.  I like at least 6 different types of beans, mild chilis, sweet corn and shoepeg corn  as well as green peppers and other ingredients.  I use oil and vinegar along with a favorite Italian dressing.  I add so much in this salad that I have to pull out my largest metal mixing bowl !  There is ALWAYS enough to send home with guests.

Made it according to the recipe! Super delicious! Wondering why it doesn’t call to refrigerate for all the seasoning to mix through?

made this for Bunco night and it was a huge hit!

This healthy cowboy caviar recipe (also known as Texas caviar) is made from scratch with all-natural ingredients! Serve it as a dip, salsa or salad—it'll be a hit at your next party. Recipe yields a lot of "caviar," about 8 cups.

Healthy Cowboy Caviar

black beans, rinsed and drained, or 1 1/2 cups cooked black beans

corn kernels (about 2 ears of corn),

tomatoes (I used about 4 Roma tomatoes, about 3/4 pound)

red, orange or yellow bell pepper

red onion (about 1/2 small red onion)

cilantro, leaves and stems

jalapeños, ribs removed, seeded and finely chopped

avocado (optional)

red wine vinegar or lime juice

garlic, pressed

salt,

oregano

basil

maple syrup

red pepper flakes

black pepper,

In a large serving bowl, combine the drained black-eyed peas, black beans, corn, chopped tomatoes, bell pepper, onion, cilantro and jalapeño. If you&#8217;ll be including avocado, wait to dice it until you&#8217;re ready to serve the dip, so it doesn&#8217;t turn brown in the meantime.

In a cup, whisk together the dressing ingredients until emulsified. Drizzle the dressing over the serving bowl and toss until well mixed. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper. For best flavor, let the mixture marinate for at least 20 minutes before serving. If you&#8217;re adding avocado, mix it in just before serving.

This looks delicious, I've made salads very similar to this and it's really nice serving in a little gem leaf as a side salad to grilled/BBQ meats. 

I will definitely be making this salad, I love corn, I'm not sure I can get canned black eyed beans. I shall have to do some research. 

I'd like to see some bulghar wheat or large cous cous salads. Thanks for the recipe.

Yes my daughter made this and it was really good, I think she used black beans and I had to pick them out as I don't like them :) other than that it was great....
Now I am trying to get her to make the cauliflower hamburgers....LOL...... will let you know if she does.....she cooks healthy too and she loves your recipes......

Made the Cowboy Caviar today and it is Delish!
I used frozen, shoepeg corn from Trader Joe's.
I could eat this every day for lunch over fresh lettuce from my garden.
Thanks for ALL the wonderful recipes!

I just made this for a friend's housewarming party last night and it was a HUGE hit! I couldn't find black beans, so used all black-eyed peas for this round, and added an extra red pepper just because. Will definitely be making again!

I've made this twice in the past week!  My husband loves it, I love it!  I'm 8 months pregnant and am craving fresh, bright flavors so this is perfect.  We've had it as a side salad, once with chips, once without.  We also put it in quesadillas which was fantastic.  Thanks for a great recipe!

I LOVE this recipe, and it has become a staple for potlucks- it only takes about 20 minutes to whip together, and it stores easily in the cooler for a day or two if we are going camping or to a music festival. I have made it already 3 times this summer for potlucks and every time I come home with an empty bowl! I also live in Northern California, land of the crazy picky fad diet eaters, and this recipe pretty much works for any dietary restrictions- gluten free, soy free, vegan, dairy free... don't think it's paleo because of the beans but you can't please everyone! 

I buy a strawberry balsamic vinegar from our local farmer's market and use half strawberry vinegar, half lime juice. I hardly need any maple syrup that way. People FLIP out for this recipe. THANK YOU!!

Hi, my name is Katie and I'm 10. I like the recipe a lot.

I used black beans, kidney beans and 
Black eyed peas, frozen corn, cherry tomatoes-halved, green pepper diced and bottled zesty italian dressing. Tossed it and was a winner! Next time we will use cilantro. Maybe a lil lime juice. A winner

Thanks for the easy recipe!  Made this last night and it was a hit!  Very simple to follow and it was so delicious!  I did not add the jalapeno, I only had black &amp; white beans on hand, did not add basil nor pepper flakes to dressing but it came out amazing!  My 9 yr old daughter even packed herself some for lunch this  morning!  Thanks again!!!

Hi, Kate!  I loved the cowboy caviar itself, but for whatever reason, I wasn't super crazy about the accompanying vinaigrette.  I ended up putting a healthy dollop of guacamole on the caviar instead. :-)  

Thank you for sharing this recipe idea, though!  I'll be making it again in the future.

Amazing salad! For carnivores as well. 
Thank you!

Made this today with kidney beans instead of black eyed peas, and put frozen seasoned corn in it (which helped cool the whole salad down by the time I had everything else chopped).  Delicious flavor, added avocado separately so it didn't brown.

I may be projecting, but I think people posting recipes must be driven crazy by people always making modifications. That being said... I made so much HCC recently that I needed to deal with a huge bowl of leftovers (no avo, I knew it wouldn't all be eaten the first day.) I sauté white mushrooms (heart healthy) then add a few scoops of HCC to warm up for a minute. Warm a tortilla, add the magic potion and slices of fresh avo and salsa/sriracha/hot peppers and set myself FREE!!!

I've made this a number of times from different recipes for different occasions. You're right that people go crazy for it. I have to say that your recipe is the best so far. The proportions are right, it's beautiful in the bowl and your dressing is over the top. I made it for my daughter's birthday party in Phoenix last month and it was gone in a heartbeat. Thanks for publishing, this one is a keeper!

This is without a doubt one of my family's all time favorites!!  I am constantly being asked to make it for family gatherings.  It takes a bit of time to chop all the veggies, but it's always well worth the effort!  Even while my family was away on vacation, we had to make it to have on hand in the fridge.  This one's a winner!!  Thanks Kate!!

Hi there. Thanks for this healthy recipe. I'm going to try to make it today. My husband is going on a plant-based diet for his heart disease, and I would love to find other good, plant-based recipes. He has been a carnivore all his life, and this is going to be a challenge. Thanks.

Forgot to take a picture when I made this yesterday for our opening of the deck party season. Love this healthier Cowboy Caviar recipe and have made it several times in the past. If I have any leftovers we eat them over a green salad the next day. Delicious with corn chips as well. One substitution that I made was using local green onions from the Farmer's Market instead of the red onions. I love your blog and have made many of your recipes; keep up the great work!

I love your fresh Mexican recipes!  There is so much color and flavor in each bite--red onions, cilantro, corn, tomato, black beans.  Ugh, can't get enough!  In addition, I made some baked sweet potato chips to scoop up the caviar, and it added a really sweet taste to the dish. Five stars!

Definitely a crowd pleaser, and I can eat on it for days. I often make it with a can of hominy in addition to or as a replacement for corn.

Kate I love this recipe it gets requested every time we have a potluck at work.. I only made one minor adjustment by leaving out the bell peppers.  I use wildflower honey and fresh lime juice really delicious.  Thank you for all your great recipes.

I can&#x27;t think of a more delicious and summer appetizer than Cowboy Caviar! This simple chip dip is healthy, fresh and always a party favorite!

Cowboy Caviar | Black Eyed Pea Salad

Water

Onion (diced)

Tomatoes (diced)

c chopped cilantro

Jalapeño Peppers (diced)

Apple Cider Vinegar ((use a combo of balsamic & cider

Cumin

Lemon Juice

Kosher Salt

Ancho Chile Powder ((optional))

Cook black-eyed peas in 2 cups of water for 10 mins at high pressure and let them release pressure naturally. Drain excess water when done.

Meanwhile, diced tomatoes, onions, jalapeños and cilantro into even shapes (I used this chopper)

Whisk together all the dressing ingredients.

Once the beans have cooled somewhat, add vegetables and pour in dressing, mix well and taste.

Adjust lemon juice, vinegar, and salt as needed for tangy taste. Resist the urge to over-salt at this juncture, as the salad will get saltier as it melds.

Allow salad to rest for 1 hour or so, before serving at room temperature.

This Cowboy Caviar recipe is adapted from The Well Plated Cookbook by Erin Clarke. Served with tortilla chips, it&#x27;s a fantastic party appetizer, but it&#x27;s also delicious as a salad. Toss it with greens, or enjoy it on its own.
