WHAT’S INCLUDED IN THE COWBOY CAVIAR RECIPE?
It depends on your taste. I am not a fan of the tomatoes in this dip so I leave it out. I personally love acid and spice. However, the base ingredients include the following below:
Canned beans; black and black-eyed peas
Sweet kernel corn
White wine vinegar
Bell peppers; I used orange and red bell peppers
Chopped cilantro
Chili powder
salt
All you need is a large mixing bowl to prepare this mouthwatering salad.
TEXAS CAVIAR PREPARATION TIP:
Rinse, drain, and pat dry the beans before adding them to the bowl. Drying the beans leaves no room for unwanted liquid. The longer you let the flavors settle, the richer the flavors become. Add ½ tsp. of cayenne pepper to give the dip a little kick. This Texas Salad can also be made with balsamic vinaigrette or any vinaigrette of your choice instead of adding white wine vinegar. I’ve even made it with raspberry vinaigrette.
