Cowboy caviar, also called Texas caviar, is a refreshing salad of black-eyed peas and other ingredients tossed in a vinaigrette dressing.
It was invented in 1940 by Helen Corbitt in Texas. Corbitt, who later became the food service director for the Zodiac Room at Neiman Marcus in Dallas, first served the dish on New Year's Eve at the Houston Country Club.
Here's what you'll need to make this colorful cowboy caviar recipe:
Cowboy caviar starts in the canned food aisle. You'll need one can of black beans, one can of black-eyed peas, and one can of diced tomatoes.
This recipe calls for frozen corn, but you can use a (drained) can of whole kernel corn if it's more convenient.
You'll need an onion, a green bell pepper, and fresh cilantro.
For spicier flavor, use a diced fresh jalapeño instead of jarred jalapeños.
Garlic salt takes the flavor up a notch, but you can use regular salt if you like.
It truly couldn't be easier to make this cowboy caviar recipe: Simply combine all the ingredients in a bowl! Find the full, step-by-step recipe below for more detailed instructions.
Yes, this cowboy caviar is a great make-ahead recipe. In fact, since you'll need to let it chill in the fridge for a bit to allow the flavors to meld, it might actually make more sense to make this recipe a day or two in advance.
Traditionally, cowboy caviar is served as an appetizer with tortilla chips. But that's not the only way to enjoy this Southern staple! You can also serve it as a light salad alongside your dinner or you can make it a meal by layering it with rice or lettuce.
Store cowboy caviar in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. We don't recommend freezing this dish, as some of the ingredients don't freeze well.
"Easy, delicious, and multiplies easily for a crowd," raves
"Substitutions work well. I use fresh garlic (in lieu of salt) and serve with a big chunk of avocado."
"This is my go-to recipe," says
"I love to take this for food days at work and for family functions. It's delicious. You can make it hotter by using jalapeños or you can make it mild by using green chiles."
"This is a summer staple around our house," according to
"I put everything but the kitchen sink in this one and it is always good. I usually make a double batch and substitute banana peppers for the jalapeño peppers."
1 (15.5 ounce) can black beans, drained
1 (15.5 ounce) can black-eyed peas, drained
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
2 cups frozen corn kernels, thawed
