A simple recipe for Cowboy Caviar Dip, a fresh mix of beans, corn, and vegetables in a zesty chili-lime dressing, perfect for serving with tortilla chips.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 cup chopped red onion
  • 1 cup chopped green bell pepper
  • 1 cup chopped red bell pepper
  • 1 cup chopped fresh or canned tomatoes (drained if canned)
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the rinsed black beans, kidney beans, drained corn, red onion, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, tomatoes, and cilantro.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper, if using, to make the dressing.
  3. Pour the dressing over the bean and vegetable mixture.
  4. Stir gently until all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
  5. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
  6. Serve chilled with tortilla chips or crackers.

Notes

  • You can make this dip up to 24 hours ahead of time; the flavor improves overnight.
  • For a spicier dip, add one diced jalapeño pepper with the vegetables.
  • Drain canned ingredients very well to prevent the dip from becoming watery.
