    Texas Caviar - cowboy caviar dip with black-eyed peas, corn and peppers

    Texas caviar — or cowboy caviar — is the Lone Star State’s answer to a party dip: a tangy, chilled relish of black-eyed peas, corn, bell peppers, and onion tossed in a zesty vinaigrette. It’s bright, crunchy, and impossible to stop eating with tortilla chips.

    Step by stepInstructions

    1. Combine the black-eyed peas, corn, peppers, onion, and jalapeño in a large bowl.
    2. Whisk the olive oil, vinegar, lime juice, sugar, and salt in a small bowl.
    3. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss to coat.
    4. Stir in the cilantro, cover, and chill at least 1 hour before serving with tortilla chips.

    💡 Chef tips & storage

    Make it a day ahead — the flavors get even better overnight. Serve with sturdy tortilla chips or scoop-style chips that can handle the vinaigrette.
