Remodelaholic | Texas Caviar Recipe

Clark

Texas Caviar is a tangy combination of fresh tomatoes, corn, black beans, black-eyed peas and peppers, topped with a homemade vinaigrette sauce. Eat it as a dip with chips or as a salad at your next potluck! 

Expand the chip and dip repertoire even more with Artichoke Parmeson Dip, Spinach Dip, and Roasted Red Pepper and Caramelized Onion Dip.

Homemade Texas Caviar – Dip or Salad?

Texas Caviar is tangy, delicious, and a bit confusing sometimes. Is it a dip, to eat with tortilla chips? or is it more of a bean salad, that I can just eat with a spoon?

The answer… is both. Eat it however you like! The ease and versatility of serving make this a great dish for a potluck. And just look at all those colors!

The southwestern twist on bean salad is also sometimes called Cowboy Caviar. Indeed, we posted another twist on this recipe here that skips the black-eyed peas and uses a quick and easy premade dressing to save some time and give a bit of a different flavor.

Both are delicious, and you’re sure to be taking home an empty bowl from your gathering…. so you might want to make a double batch and save some for yourself 😉

How to Make Texas Caviar

A bit of this and a bit of that, and then a pinch of this — it’s easy to add or remove ingredients to your taste!

Begin by mixing up the homemade vinaigrette dressing so it has time to blend the flavors really nicely.

Cut the vegetables and add them to the drained black eyed peas, beans, and corn in a large bowl.
