- 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 (15 ounce) can black eyed peas, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 red onion, diced
- 1 cup corn
- 1 avocado, diced
- 2 Roma tomatoes, diced
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped (optional)
- 1/4 cup olive oil

INSTRUCTIONS:
- In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients. Toss until well combined.

TIPS:
- For a spicier cowboy caviar, add more jalapeño or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- If you don't like jalapeño, you can omit it altogether.
- For a creamier cowboy caviar, add a dollop of sour cream or yogurt to each serving.
- Cowboy caviar is also delicious served on top of grilled chicken, fish, or steak.
VARIATIONS:
- Add in other vegetables that you like, such as bell peppers, cucumbers, or carrots.
- Top with crumbled feta cheese or cotija cheese for a salty and tangy flavor.
- Add a splash of hot sauce or your favorite barbecue sauce for a bit of extra heat.
- Serve with pita bread or naan bread for a scooping vessel.
Enjoy! 😋😋
