Chili Lime Texas Caviar (Cowboy Caviar)


Chili Lime Texas Caviar (also known as Cowboy Caviar) is the BEST salad, side dish or appetiser for any occasion! Vegan AND gluten free!

Bean salads or salsas are on regular rotation in my house, but I’ve never known them to be called Texas Caviar (Cowboy Caviar), until seeing them all over the place recently. It was only fitting to pair this with my popular dressing from this Grilled Chili Lime Chicken Fajita Salad.

A bowl full of health! Black-eyed peas (also known as black-eye beans), black beans, corn, grape tomatoes (or you can use cherry tomatoes or Roma tomatoes), peppers (aka capsicums), and avocado pieces, mixed through with the best dressing I created two years ago. Fresh squeezed lime juice, red chilli flakes, cilantro (or sub with parsley), garlic…cumin… so many flavours that dance together and create a steamy love affair on your tongue.

All of the ingredients together are sensational. I served this to my team with corn chips and nacho chips….and they LOVED IT.
