Cowboy Caviar

This black eyed pea dip is a crowd pleaser and the perfect summer dip! What I love most about this dip is that it’s so easy to throw together and has great taste. There are so many variations to this recipe and I change it up every single time. And every single time, it’s just as delicious!

Ingredients

  • Black eyed peas

  • Yellow Pepper

  • Orange Pepper

  • Red Repper

  • Jalapeño

  • Corn

  • Green Onion

  • Cilantro

  • Zesty Italian Dressing

  • Cayenne

  • Chili Powder

  • Garlic Powder

  • Salt

Instructions

  • In a colander rinse 2 cans of black eyed peas. In the same colander rinse a can of sweet corn. Drain and place in a large mixing bowl.

  • Next start dicing (and remove the seeds) of 1 yellow pepper, 1 red pepper, 1 orange pepper and 1 jalapeño. Once diced, add to your large bowl. Then dice up 2-3 green onions and add to the bowl.

  • After that, cut up some cilantro and add to your bowl (I use around 1/2 cup).

  • You can now begin adding the dressing to the rest of your ingredients. For the dressing, use Zesty Italian dressing (I use about 3/4 of the bottle or you can use the full bottle so your dip has a good consistency.)

  • Next, I get a little lazy and don’t measure my spices, but add a shake of cayenne pepper, a couple shakes of chili powder, a few shakes of garlic powder and add a little salt.

  • Stir everything together until it’s mixed well then refrigerate up to an hour so the dip will set up. Enjoy with your favorite tortilla chips!

  • Variation: Use 1 can of black eyed peas and 1 can of black beans instead of 2 cans of black eyed peas.

  • Variation: Add diced avocado to this dish. But if you do, make sure and add lime juice.

  • Variation: Instead of the green onion use a 1/2 cup of purple onion.

  • Variation: When my mom makes this dish she adds a can of rotel tomatoes and a 4 ounce jar of drained pimentos.

  • Variation: Instead of using the Zesty Italian dressing you can also use a 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/3 cup white wine vinegar and around a 1/4 cup of sugar.


This colorful dip looks great in the Pioneer Woman dip dishes!
