This is my favorite fresh veggie chunky salsa/dip ever. In college my roommate's mother gave us this recipe from the Oklahoma newspaper and we haven't stopped making it since.

Time 20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (11 ounce) can white shoepeg corn, drained
1 (15 ounce) can black-eyed peas, drained
2 -3 roma tomatoes
2/3 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 -2 avocado
1/3 cup green onion, chopped
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 teaspoon garlic (minced, chopped, whatever)
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup garlic red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon cumin

Steps:

  • Mix all dressing ingredients together and set aside.
  • Mix all veggies together in a large bowl.
  • Add dressing and mix together well.
  • If you can wait, give the mixture an hour or so for the flavors to really come out. The longer it sits, the better it tastes. But it's delicious to eat straight away too.
  • Note: I rarely use the exact ingredient amounts. It's good to substitute black or red beans for the pinto beans or to use regular corn for shoepeg. I've used red wine vinegar in place of garlic red wine vinegar as well. You can even add hot sauce if you like spicy. I always double the recipe (but not necessarily the dressing) and eat on it for days. It's good in burritos, pitas, or on top salads, anything really. It's a very flexible recipe.

This cowboy caviar recipe is a winner! It's so easy to make, but it's packed with flavor. I love the combination of the black-eyed peas, corn, tomatoes, and bell peppers. And the dressing is the perfect finishing touch.
