A Bowl of Beans That Disappears First

Cowboy caviar is the dish you make when you need to feed a crowd and you don't want to turn on the oven. Beans, corn, peppers, a sharp dressing — it comes together with a can opener and a cutting board, and it tastes better after it sits.

Cooks on Pepper reach for these when there's a potluck Saturday, a cookout, or a bag of chips and nothing to go with it. It's also the thing they make Sunday and eat out of the fridge all week.

Every recipe here is a real bowl someone brought somewhere: the three-pepper Cowboy Caviar, Southern Cowboy Caviar with avocado and tomato, a black bean and black-eyed pea version with frozen corn, Dill Pickle Cowboy Caviar, a kidney bean take, and Cowboy Caviar Salsa with Roma tomatoes.

Quick Tips

  1. 1

    Rinse the canned beans

    Drain and rinse black beans and black-eyed peas under cold water for 30 seconds so the dressing stays clear instead of cloudy.

  2. 2

    Let it sit an hour

    Mix everything, cover, and chill at least 1 hour so the peppers and onion soak up the dressing. Overnight is even better.

  3. 3

    Add avocado last

    Stir diced avocado in within 15 minutes of serving so it holds its shape and doesn't brown in the bowl.

  4. 4

    Dice everything the same size

    Cut peppers, tomatoes, and onion to about 1/4 inch so every chip gets a little of each.
