Scale
  • 15.5 oz. black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 15.5 oz. black-eyed peas, drained and rinsed
  • 15 oz. sweet corn, drained
  • 1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • ½ cup red bell pepper, diced

  • 1 tbsp. fresh lime juice
  • ¼ tsp. garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Begin by draining and rinsing your black beans, black-eyed peas, and sweet corn under cool water. Pat them dry with a paper towel—it helps prevent extra moisture in your dip!
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the prepared beans and corn with the chopped cilantro, diced red bell pepper, orange bell pepper, and red onion. Stir gently so everything mixes well without smashing the ingredients.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together chili powder, kosher salt, granulated sugar, olive oil, white apple vinegar, fresh lime juice, and garlic powder until smooth. This dressing will bring all those lovely flavors together.
  4. Pour the dressing over your colorful bean and vegetable mixture. Stir gently until everything is evenly coated—this step is crucial for ensuring each bite bursts with flavor!
  5. Refrigerate your Cowboy Caviar for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully—trust me; it's worth the wait!
