Cowboy Caviar

Appetizers & Snacks

Cowboy Caviar is the ultimate crowd-pleaser, bursting with vibrant flavors and texture. This fresh, zesty dip is packed with black beans, black-eyed peas, corn, and crunchy veggies like bell peppers and red onions. Tossed in a tangy, cumin-spiced dressing, it’s the perfect balance of savory, spicy, and refreshing. Best served chilled, this dip gets even better after a little time in the fridge, allowing all those delicious flavors to meld. Serve it with tortilla chips, crackers, or as a colorful topping for salads and tacos.
