I have made this recipe a few times now, and each time it seems to disappear. Last night, we had a few people over and I wanted to make something to snack on while we were grilling. Cowboy caviar fits the bill. It is easy to make, serves quite a few and isn't as bad for you as some of the creamy dips out there.
Cowboy Caviar:
1 Can (14 oz) Whole Kernel Corn
1 Can (14 oz) Diced Tomatoes
1 Can (14 oz) Black Eyed Peas
1 Can (14 oz) Black Beans
1 Lime
1 Small White Onion
1 Green Bell Pepper
3/4 Cup Fresh Chopped Cilantro
Garlic Salt
Small Can Jalapenos (mild)
1/3 Cup Zesty Italian Dressing
1. Empty the first four ingredients ( corn, tomatoes, black eyed peas, and black beans) into a bowl.
2. Chop up the onion and the bell pepper and add to the bowl.
3. Add in a few dashes of garlic salt, toss in the jalapenos and the cilantro; stir.
4. Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice over the mix.
5. Add in the Italian dressing. If the mix looks dry, add in a little more Italian dressing, but you don't want it to be soupy.
6. Chill for at least 1 hour for serving. I actually think this gets better the longer it is in the refrigerator, so if you can make it and let it chill overnight.
7. Serve with tortilla or pita chips!
