How to Make Cowboy Caviar
- Begin by draining, rinsing, and patting dry the black beans, black-eyed peas, and sweet corn. This ensures that excess liquid doesn’t make your Cowboy Caviar soggy. Transfer the ingredients to a large bowl.
- Next, add the chopped cilantro, red bell pepper, orange bell pepper, and diced red onions to the bowl. Sprinkle in the chili powder, kosher salt, sugar, olive oil, white wine vinegar, fresh lime juice, and garlic powder. Stir everything together gently until well combined.
- Allow the Cowboy Caviar to rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together. Serve it cold or at room temperature, ensuring each scoop is packed with color and flavor.
Notes
Optional: Garnish with extra cilantro or lime wedges for an added touch of freshness.
