Servings: 10 servings
Servings: 1/2 cup
Equipment
Ingredients
- Black Beans – two 15-16 ounce cans. However you could substitute in Black Eyed Peas Make sure that you rinse and drain these before adding them to the recipe.
- Canned Corn– one 15-16 ounce can drained.
- Red Pepper- 1 chopped.
- Onion- one small I prefer sweet onion chopped or 1-2 green onions chopped.
- Garlic– one clove minced.
- Cilantro- chopped quantity as needed.
- Olive Oil– ½ cup. However you could alternatively use Italian Salad Dressing, or salsa a combination of the choices.
- Lime Juice- 1 tablespoon.
- Avocado- 1 chopped.
- Seasonings as desired.
Instructions
- The majority of this recipe can be made ahead. However, I would add the chopped avocado just before serving to prevent having to serve this Texas Caviar with any avocado pieces that may have turned brown. You can also add the part or all of the cilantro at this time as well.
- As mentioned above, make sure that your beans or peas have been rinsed and drained before making this recipe. Once they are drained you can begin making this recipe.
- In a large bowl, combine together the beans, peas, canned corn (also drained well first), chopped red pepper, chopped onion, and the minced garlic. Mix or toss these together well.
- Next stir in the cilantro and olive oil (or Italian dressing/salsa). I suggest reserving a bit of the cilantro to use as a garnish to use when serving this as well.
- Refrigerated this covered for at least an hour. When you are ready to serve this, toss in the avocado and any desired seasonings (salt, pepper etc) and top with remaining cilantro.
- Serve with some great dipping chips
Recipe Notes
As mentioned, Black Beans are an essential ingredient in this recipe. However, you could substitute in black eyed peas for the entire black bean amount or mix it up with half black beans and half black eyed peas. Also, canned corn is needed..
Serving this Texas Caviar is an easy one as well.
I mentioned that you could serve this with some chips on the side or as part of a wrap.
However, I also have a recipe for Salted Chickpea Chips that would work well.
