Y’all know I’m from Oklahoma, right? Ali texted me for bean salsa input the other day and I mentioned that she wasn’t far off from cowboy caviar, a bean salad recipe popular in the South. You can serve it as a side salad or as salsa. Either way, people go crazy for cowboy caviar at potlucks.
Ali wasn’t familiar with cowboy caviar (also called Texas caviar), so I worried that maybe you all had been deprived of this cheekily titled delight, too. Cowboy caviar is made with black-eyed peas and black beans, chopped tomatoes, corn, bell pepper, onion and cilantro tossed in a tangy Italian dressing.
I have one issue with most cowboy caviar recipes, which is that they’re often swimming in store-bought Italian salad dressing. As such, they can be way too oily and contain some entirely unnecessary preservatives. I whisked together a simple, homemade Italian dressing from scratch instead of using store-bought. This recipe yields quite a lot of dip, but I don’t think you’ll have any trouble polishing it off.
I had so much fun creating a healthier version of this classic potluck menu item that I thought it would be fun to make a summer series out of it. On the menu: seven-layer dip, pasta salad, more salsas… What else would you all like to see?! Let me know in the comments!

This healthy cowboy caviar recipe (also known as Texas caviar) is made from scratch with all-natural ingredients! Serve it as a dip, salsa or salad—it’ll be a hit at your next party. Recipe yields a lot of “caviar,” about 8 cups.
Ingredients
Cowboy caviar
- 2 (14-ounce) cans black-eyed peas, rinsed and drained, or 3 cups cooked black-eyed peas
- 1 (14-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained, or 1 ½ cups cooked black beans
- 1 ½ cups fresh corn kernels (about 2 ears of corn), or 1 (14-ounce) can corn, drained
- 1 ½ cups chopped tomatoes (I used about 4 Roma tomatoes, about ¾ pound)
- 1 medium red, orange or yellow bell pepper
- ¾ cup chopped red onion (about ½ small red onion)
- ½ cup chopped cilantro, leaves and stems
- 1 to 2 jalapeños, ribs removed, seeded and finely chopped
- 1 avocado (optional)
Italian dressing
- ⅓ cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar or lime juice
- 2 medium cloves garlic, pressed or minced
- 1 to 1 ½ teaspoons salt, to taste
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey
- ⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- In a large serving bowl, combine the drained black-eyed peas, black beans, corn, chopped tomatoes, bell pepper, onion, cilantro and jalapeño. If you’ll be including avocado, wait to dice it until you’re ready to serve the dip, so it doesn’t turn brown in the meantime.
- In a cup, whisk together the dressing ingredients until emulsified. Drizzle the dressing over the serving bowl and toss until well mixed. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper. For best flavor, let the mixture marinate for at least 20 minutes before serving. If you’re adding avocado, mix it in just before serving.
Notes
Recipe based on memory and roughly adapted from AllRecipes.
Serving suggestions: Don’t forget the chips! I also like to turn this dip into a green salad by serving it on lettuce with a squeeze of lime, some crumbled feta and a sprinkle of crushed corn chips or toasted pepitas.
Storage suggestions: This dip keeps well in the refrigerator, covered, for around three days.

Well, I’m not really a cowboy being from Buffalo, NY…yes, the land of the Buffalo Bills and the Sabres. Bleh. But I know my wife will love this recipe, totally up her alley as to what she makes and yes, brings to all those potlucks and other summer festivities. We’d love some more salsa recipes! Never tire of those!!!!!
Kate
Ha, that’s ok, I’m not a cowboy, either. :) I have a few more salsa recipes planned for the summer!
Liz @ I Heart Vegetables
YUM! That’s my kind of caviar ;) haha I would love with chips OR a spoon!
Abby @ The Frosted Vegan
I hadn’t heard of cowboy caviar until like the past two years?! Especially being in the Midwest, I didn’t grow up with it, but I love the looks of it! My cat is always interested in jalapenos and I know that would be a rude awakening if he actually got a hold of it : )
Kate
Haha, jalapeños are one of the only foods that Cookie refuses to eat! So funny.
Alexa [fooduzzi.com]
Yum! I cannot get enough corn this time of year, and I’m LOVING that dressing idea! Pinned!
Heather - Butter & Burlap
I love cowboy caviar! I’m a Texas girl and we eat this stuff by the buckets. So spicy and delicious! Gotta have it with black-eyed peas, too!
Kate
Yes! Glad you know this salad, Heather!
autumn
whoa!!! Can’t wait to try this! and I Love your suggestion of turning it into a salad w/ the leftovers! …I have weekly girls nights in with fiends and a monthly book club so this will be making an appearance at one of those very soon!!! I’ll keep ya posted :)
Kate
Hey Autumn! :) Hope you all love it!
ItalianGirlCooks
I’ve made Mexican Caviar (similar). I like this one, too…nice ingredients; yummy!
Nicole
YES! I’m not from the south, but I have had this at a party or two (but it’s been years!) and I had the same thought that it could be vastly improved with a homemade vinaigrette. I can’t wait to try yours!
Kate
Yeahhh! Glad we’re on the same page here, Nicole! Hope you love it!
Mandy
this looks delicious can’t wait to try, now that its summer kids are home and my husband has decided to loose a few pounds bringing his lunch to work I am looking for lunches that are easy to pack and that kids like, any ideas that you have would be greatly appreciated:)
Kate
Hi Mandy! Hope you enjoy this salad. Here are a couple of resources that might help you find some recipes that work for you: my recipes that pack well for lunch and readers’ favorite recipes.
Sydney
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for creating a healthy version of this! This is a pot-luck favorite (made by a family member) for the summer, but I recently found out the version I’ve been indulging in for the past 5 summers has an entire cup of sugar in the dressing! No way! I will be making this version as an option this year :)
Kate
Dang, that’s a lot of sugar! If you’re used to your “caviar” being super sweet, you might want to add some more maple syrup. Every time I add corn to a recipe, I feel like it makes the whole dish pretty sweet all by itself! Hope you enjoy my version.
Jill
This looks so good! I can’t wait to try it. I love that you mentioned topping lettuce with it- great use of the leftovers since it’s a big batch!
I would love to see a healthier potato salad recipe, maybe even cole slaw too!
Kate
Thanks, Jill! Hope you love it. I have been eating it on greens for the past couple of days. Love it. I added your requests to my list!
Lynda
This recipe looks fantastic, I will definitely try it out. If you could create a healthier version of the 7 layer dip, I would be so excited. I love the ones you buy in the stores but know they are full of fat and preservatives.
Kate
Seven layer dip, coming up! I’ll post it either next week or the next. :)
Maggie K.
Ok so I don’t know if there is a way to make this healthy but I actually (secretly) love those salads with mandarin oranges, marshmallows, pineapple, etc that are often found at potlucks. I don’t know the name but I’d be fascinated to see a healthier version if you can come up with one!!
Kate
Ambrosia! I have just the recipe for you. Check your inbox soon. :)
Erin @ The Almond Eater
I have definitely never heard of cowboy cavier, but now I have and it sounds delicious!
Lauren
Now that is my kind of caviar! Perfect for BBQs too
Anna
sounds super delicious :)
Dani @ DaniCaliforniaCooks
I think I could eat this for an entire meal…
Ellen
This looks wonderful! I’ve got cilantro on the porch that needs to be eaten.
Kate
Perfect! Hope you enjoy this salsa/salad, Ellen!
Paige
Oooh, looks amazing! I’ve got a potluck this week, and you just solved my problem of what to make. Thanks, Kate!
Kate
Awesome! Hope this one goes over great at your potluck!

I like to add avocado to mine! :)
Jillian at Yoga Pants Kitchen
Looks delicious! I can’t wait to try it :)

Beth
I’m making this tonight as a salad since the temp has hit the 80s, maybe 90s tomorrow. Love recipes where you don’t have to turn on the stove or oven in the summer. Any big difference between using the red wine vinegar versus the lime juice in the dressing? I always wonder if the first ingredient listed is the “preferred” one in various recipes. Thanks!
Kate
Hey Beth! Hope you loved the salad. That’s a great question. I always list the ingredients I used/prefer first, and offer substitutions when I am confident they will be pretty close. It’s always hard to decide if extra information will be helpful or confusing, but I offer options for the accessibility’s sake.
Dolores
Yes I would love healthy versions. Got to try cowboy caviar love everything in it.
Kate
Ok, I’ll have more for you soon! Hope you love the cowboy caviar, Dolores.
Morgan
I’d love a healthier macaroni salad recipe that still has that tang and creaminess!
Kate
Noted! I’ll see what I can do. :)
Cassie Tran
Looks like such a yummy and perfect summer recipe!
Marnie Schwartz
Trader Joe’s Cowboy Caviar is great. Not greasy at all. I’m looking for a similar recipe to keep the cost down. Lucky’s is the only store in Santa Rosa, CA that carries canned Black Eyed Peas so I make my own.
Angela - Patisserie Makes Perfect
This looks delicious, I’ve made salads very similar to this and it’s really nice serving in a little gem leaf as a side salad to grilled/BBQ meats.
I will definitely be making this salad, I love corn, I’m not sure I can get canned black eyed beans. I shall have to do some research.
I’d like to see some bulghar wheat or large cous cous salads. Thanks for the recipe.
★★★★★
Kate
Thanks, Angela! I found canned black-eyed peas at Whole Foods, but I don’t know where/if they might be available in the UK. You could cook dried beans or substitute more black beans or pinto beans. The salad won’t be as traditional but it will be delicious regardless.
Angela
We have Whole Foods in the UK actually and their prices are really reasonable. That means a trip to London though, where I usally shop till I drop, so I only try to buy light things from Whole Foods :-)
I will check out the supermarkets here, I’m sure they have them. Thanks for the pinto beans recommendation, I love them so much.
Eileen
This sounds like the perfect thing to eat when it’s too hot to turn on the oven. And just look at that gorgeous fresh corn! I need to get my hands on some ASAP.
Brittany
I make something similar with black beans and it’s so delicious! I think the sweet corn is my favorite part! I’ll have to try this version with black-eyed peas sometime soon.
kristie {birch and wild}
This looks incredible! I love everything about it!
kentuckylady717
Yes my daughter made this and it was really good, I think she used black beans and I had to pick them out as I don’t like them :) other than that it was great….
Now I am trying to get her to make the cauliflower hamburgers….LOL…… will let you know if she does…..she cooks healthy too and she loves your recipes……
★★★★★
Kate
I’m so glad to hear it! Thank you! I hope you both enjoy the burgers!
Debbie
I’m always looking for a healthier version of green bean casserole.
Cindy
Made the Cowboy Caviar today and it is Delish!
I used frozen, shoepeg corn from Trader Joe’s.
I could eat this every day for lunch over fresh lettuce from my garden.
Thanks for ALL the wonderful recipes!
★★★★★
Kate
Thank you so much, Cindy! Glad you enjoyed this one!
Joanne
I’ve HEARD of cowboy caviar, but I can’t say I’ve ever had a version that’s even somewhat authentic. You make it look so good I’m definitely going to have to try it at home!
Sam
If you had a kid they would have the best lunches for school EVER!!!
Kate
Ha, one would hope so! :)
Becky
I just made this for a friend’s housewarming party last night and it was a HUGE hit! I couldn’t find black beans, so used all black-eyed peas for this round, and added an extra red pepper just because. Will definitely be making again!
★★★★★
Kate
Awesome! Thank you, Becky!
Ali
I’ve made this twice in the past week! My husband loves it, I love it! I’m 8 months pregnant and am craving fresh, bright flavors so this is perfect. We’ve had it as a side salad, once with chips, once without. We also put it in quesadillas which was fantastic. Thanks for a great recipe!
★★★★★
Kate
Hooray! Thank you, Ali!
Debbie
Made it and it is delicious! Used red beans instead of black eye beans and we cannot stop eating it! Thanks
Kate
Thank you, Debbie!
Kirsti
Oh my gosh. This salad/dish they call Texas Caviar is amazing! I’ve made this recipe (to a tee) twice in the past week, and my boyfriend and I cannot stop eating it…
So I figured it was time I thanked you for this recipe :) Recently came across your blog and can’t wait to try more of your recipes!
Kate
Thanks, Kirsti! glad you found this one!
Matt
I’m about to try and make this. Was wondering if canned corn ruins the flavor?
Kate
Hey Matt, I would use fresh if you can find it. Canned corn should be ok, just be sure to drain it well!
Alli
I LOVE this recipe, and it has become a staple for potlucks- it only takes about 20 minutes to whip together, and it stores easily in the cooler for a day or two if we are going camping or to a music festival. I have made it already 3 times this summer for potlucks and every time I come home with an empty bowl! I also live in Northern California, land of the crazy picky fad diet eaters, and this recipe pretty much works for any dietary restrictions- gluten free, soy free, vegan, dairy free… don’t think it’s paleo because of the beans but you can’t please everyone!
I buy a strawberry balsamic vinegar from our local farmer’s market and use half strawberry vinegar, half lime juice. I hardly need any maple syrup that way. People FLIP out for this recipe. THANK YOU!!
★★★★★
Kate
Hooray! Thank you, Alli! Great point on the special diets issue. I really want to try your strawberry balsamic version!

Hi, my name is Katie and I’m 10. I like the recipe a lot.

Hi Katie! Thank you for letting me know! I’m glad to hear that you liked this one. :)
Rocky
If you add 1-2 tbsp (to taste) of cashew butter to this dressing you get a Vegan Creamy Italian dressing that is out-of-this-world! For my husband and I, it is the go-to dressing for kale. People use their fingers to wipe the bottom of the salad bowl when we serve it! Ha. Give it a try!
And thanks for all of the cooking inspiration Kate. Whenever we have company we serve at LEAST one of your dishes and inevitably someone says “I never knew vegetarians ate so well.” Our response is always “Check out Cookie and Kate.”
We can’t wait to buy your book and give you our support.
Kate
Rocky, thank you so much for your note! I can’t wait to try your dressing idea. Sounds so good! Delighted to hear that you’re enjoying my recipes. Thank you for sharing my blog with your friends! :)
Teri Boeger
I used black beans, kidney beans and
Black eyed peas, frozen corn, cherry tomatoes-halved, green pepper diced and bottled zesty italian dressing. Tossed it and was a winner! Next time we will use cilantro. Maybe a lil lime juice. A winner
★★★★★
Vicky T
Thanks for the easy recipe! Made this last night and it was a hit! Very simple to follow and it was so delicious! I did not add the jalapeno, I only had black & white beans on hand, did not add basil nor pepper flakes to dressing but it came out amazing! My 9 yr old daughter even packed herself some for lunch this morning! Thanks again!!!
★★★★★
Kate
Thank you, Vicky! I’m so glad you enjoyed the cowboy caviar.
Heather
Hi, Kate! I loved the cowboy caviar itself, but for whatever reason, I wasn’t super crazy about the accompanying vinaigrette. I ended up putting a healthy dollop of guacamole on the caviar instead. :-)
Thank you for sharing this recipe idea, though! I’ll be making it again in the future.
★★★★★
Yael
Amazing salad! For carnivores as well.
Thank you!
★★★★
Amy Sondej
Made this today with kidney beans instead of black eyed peas, and put frozen seasoned corn in it (which helped cool the whole salad down by the time I had everything else chopped). Delicious flavor, added avocado separately so it didn’t brown.
★★★★
Margot
I may be projecting, but I think people posting recipes must be driven crazy by people always making modifications. That being said… I made so much HCC recently that I needed to deal with a huge bowl of leftovers (no avo, I knew it wouldn’t all be eaten the first day.) I sauté white mushrooms (heart healthy) then add a few scoops of HCC to warm up for a minute. Warm a tortilla, add the magic potion and slices of fresh avo and salsa/sriracha/hot peppers and set myself FREE!!!
★★★★★
Joy B
I’ve made this a number of times from different recipes for different occasions. You’re right that people go crazy for it. I have to say that your recipe is the best so far. The proportions are right, it’s beautiful in the bowl and your dressing is over the top. I made it for my daughter’s birthday party in Phoenix last month and it was gone in a heartbeat. Thanks for publishing, this one is a keeper!

Sandy
This is without a doubt one of my family’s all time favorites!! I am constantly being asked to make it for family gatherings. It takes a bit of time to chop all the veggies, but it’s always well worth the effort! Even while my family was away on vacation, we had to make it to have on hand in the fridge. This one’s a winner!! Thanks Kate!!
★★★★★

You’re welcome, Sandy! I’m glad everyone likes it so much.

Hi there. Thanks for this healthy recipe. I’m going to try to make it today. My husband is going on a plant-based diet for his heart disease, and I would love to find other good, plant-based recipes. He has been a carnivore all his life, and this is going to be a challenge. Thanks.
★★★★★
Kate
Good luck, Susan! I hope you can find some good recipes here. Check out my Meatless Recipes that Carnivores Will Love list, too!
Melanie
We’re plant-based! I sub vegetable broth for the oil. Tastes just the same.
Coleen
Forgot to take a picture when I made this yesterday for our opening of the deck party season. Love this healthier Cowboy Caviar recipe and have made it several times in the past. If I have any leftovers we eat them over a green salad the next day. Delicious with corn chips as well. One substitution that I made was using local green onions from the Farmer’s Market instead of the red onions. I love your blog and have made many of your recipes; keep up the great work!
★★★★★
Kate
Thank you Coleen! I’m jealous that it’s summer party season where you are– Kansas City is still quite drizzly and cool! So happy you loved the recipe.
Ally
I love your fresh Mexican recipes! There is so much color and flavor in each bite–red onions, cilantro, corn, tomato, black beans. Ugh, can’t get enough! In addition, I made some baked sweet potato chips to scoop up the caviar, and it added a really sweet taste to the dish. Five stars!
★★★★★
Kate
Homemade sweet potato chips sound amazing with this, Ally. I’ll have to try that!
Wendy Conaway
Made this dip for the lake for the 4th of July. So delicious everyone loves it! Even my husband who would typically not like a dip like this. Super refreshing! Thanks for sharing!
Kate
It sounds like a hit! Thanks, Wendy.
Meg
Definitely a crowd pleaser, and I can eat on it for days. I often make it with a can of hominy in addition to or as a replacement for corn.
★★★★★
Kate
Hominy addition sounds great! Thanks so much for your review and feedback, Meg!
Carol
Has anyone made this without the oil?
Julie
Can I omit the olive oil or use balsamic vinegar?
Kate
Hi Julie – If you want to omit the olive oil, I would replace with another neutral oil (like avocado or something similar). You can increase the lime juice/vinegar to cut down on the oil. For the dressing it needs an oil to make it more of a dressing to help coat. Balsamic would likely be to potent. Hope this helps!
Rick
If you’re trying to make it “healthy”, why not use dry beans instead of canned?
Kate
Sorry, I’m not quite following. “Healthy” means a lot of things to different people, so I’m not sure if you’re referencing the sodium content of canned beans (in which case, choose low-sodium varieties) or the potential BPA content in the can lining (in which case, choose BPA-free options, available at Trader Joe’s or from Eden brand, etc.). Otherwise, canned beans are not different from home-cooked beans.
Robin Beeson
Kate I love this recipe it gets requested every time we have a potluck at work.. I only made one minor adjustment by leaving out the bell peppers. I use wildflower honey and fresh lime juice really delicious. Thank you for all your great recipes.
★★★★★
Kate
You’re welcome, Robin!
Colleen
I am making this recipe for our condo gathering for Canada Day. It tastes great just like all your recipes. One question about measuring herbs, like cilantro, in this case, or parsley, measure before or after chopping?
★★★★★
Kate
Great question! For this, measurement is for when it’s chopped. Thanks for the comment and review!
Jennifer
It was astounding how little flavor this had. I followed it exactly and made no substitutions. Quite disappointing.
★★
Kate
I’m sorry you felt that way, Jennifer! You could always increase your favorite amount of seasoning, if you like.
Taija
Love how quick & easy this recipe is! It’s perfect to bring to large family get-togethers, where I have a couple relatives who are gluten-free and/or vegan and sometimes have difficulty eating from the variety of items at a potluck. I also love that it’s healthier than the version I’m used to at my work gatherings – when given the recipe, i was shocked to learn how much sugar was in it!
★★★★★
Kate
Thanks for sharing, Taija!
JM
I made this for dinner last night for the first time. I left out the second can of black eyed peas and used store-bought, pre-prepped chunky avocado instead of fresh and mixed it together even though I wasn’t serving it just yet, and it was so.flippin.good. I can’t wait to make it again. My husband and I ate almost all of it by ourselves, leaving just enough for a taste of it for lunch for me today that I ate as a salad.
This is going on my favorites list!
★★★★★
Kate
Favorite list worthy, I love it! Thank you for sharing, JM.
Karon McCoy
I am making this Cowboy Caviar for the second time in as many weeks and what a huge hit it has been! I adore the aromatic fragrances of the combinations of vegetables and herbs this dish has to offer. I substituted a poblano pepper for the jalapeño, which made it milder for my non-spicy loving guests, but it gave it a little zest for the rest of us. I will prepare it again just for us next time. Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe with us.
★★★★★
Kate
Wonderful, Karon! Thanks for your review.
Suzy
Hi Kathryne,
I made this to bring to a big birthday party, so I’d have something to eat (being vegetarian). And let me tell you- it was a big hit! As per your comments, I brought an avocado there and sliced it right before serving – it adds the perfect creaminess and would highly recommend it. I adapted the recipe slightly by using some chickpeas, in place of all black eye peas and black beans. The salad is so colorful and is a great addition to add some ‘pop’ to any table. Thanks again for the recipe; I’ll definitely be making it again and will add it to my repertoire.
★★★★★
Kate
That’s great! Thank you for your comment and review, Suzy!
Julie Anderson
Hello,
I plan to make this! Sounds delicious. Do you cook the fresh corn first or just cut it off the cob?
Thank you,
Julie Anderson
Kate
You can just cut it right off the cob!:)
Malia
HI Kate. Yummy recipe, I had never heard of Cowboy Caviar so thank you for exposing me to this receipe. It is so fresh, I used fresh corn which made it extra tasty. I had to use other beans as black-eyes peas are hard to find here (France). I love all of the fresh ingredients and the fact that isn’t a super easy (no cooking) recipe and low cost. Thank you!

Hi Kate!
This recipe was exactly what I was looking for since I made a big batch of Rancho Gordo lucky black-eyed peas for another recipe and the left over beans were staring at me every time I opened the fridge. Made this today as written, with frozen corn since it’s April..and it’s amazing!
We went plant-based in January and hubby was given your cookbook by a co-worker and we’ve loved it and your recipes here.
Also, nice to know you’re from Oklahoma – me too, been gone for a loooong time but still love flavors from my childhood.
Thanks for all you do!

Karen Benson
Forget about being a salad, this caviar is the bomb. I eat this as my main course with some baked tortilla chips. It’s rather addicting and tough to stop eating. I have tried so many of your recipes lately (especially salads) and its hard to say which I like best (however this is definitely a contender). So happy I found your website. Thank you.

I made the Cowboy Caviar for a friend and served it over lettuce from my garden with a side of goat cheese and thinly sliced grilled pork. My cilantro had just gone to seed so I substituted fresh mint, opted for mesquite honey and lime to make the dressing. I used fresh peas and fresh corn and no black beans. It was fantastic!
Each Cookie and Kate recipe has been so fresh, balanced and zings with nutrition! This is just the way we enjoy eating—delicious and fresh! Thank you!
