Ingredients
- 15 ounces black-eyed peas rinsed and drained

- 1 medium white onion, diced
- 6 Roma tomatoes diced or ½ pint grape tomatoes, quartered
- 1 red bell pepper diced
- 1 jalapeno seeds removed, diced
- 1 cup cilantro chopped
- 1 lime juiced and zested + ⅛ cup more lime juice
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons cumin
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add all ingredients
- Stir to combine
- Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve
Notes
- Cowboy caviar gets better as the flavors mix, so leave it covered and refrigerated for at least a few hours.
- Use lime juice and zest for the maximum flavor.
- Add another can of beans of choice for more protein or as an entree salad rather than a side dish.
- Use canned or frozen corn if you don't have access to fresh corn on the cob. However, cook frozen corn, and allow it to cool before adding it to the bowl with the other ingredients.
- For a sweeter onion presence, use red onion instead of white onion. Green onions also provide a milder flavor.
