Need a quick and easy recipe to bring to a summer potluck or BBQ?
I tried this delicious snack, “Cowboy Caviar” at a potluck recently. I just had to have the recipe, so now I am sharing it with you. This is a great side to bring to a party or BBQ, and easily served with corn chips!
Cowboy Caviar:
Ingredients
1 (15.5 ounce) can black beans, drained
1 (15.5 ounce) can black-eyed peas, drained
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
2 cups frozen corn kernels, thawed
½ medium onion, chopped
¼ green bell pepper, finely chopped
½ cup chopped pickled jalapeno peppers
½ teaspoon garlic salt
1 cup Italian salad dressing
¾ cup chopped cilantro
Directions: Mix beans, peas, tomatoes, corn, onion, bell pepper, and jalapeno peppers in a large bowl. Season with garlic salt. Add dressing and cilantro; toss to coat. Refrigerate for 20 minutes or until ready to serve.
