COWBOY CAVIAR
- 1 can Diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 can black eyed peas, drained and rinsed
- 1 can black beans drained & rinsed
- 1 can corn, drained
- 1 small red onion or half of a bigger onion, diced finely
- fresh chopped cilantro (however much you like)
- 8 oz. bottle of zesty Italian Dressing (*i buy the pkg with no msg, think it's good seasons brand, and make it myself. I also add more vinegar bc we like it really tangy.)
Mix all together, refrigerate at least 3 hours (the longer it sets, the better it gets, so this is a perfect make-ahead recipe). Serve with tortilla chips (the scooping kind are the best).
*i also use all organic canned veggies. I shop at kroger 90% of the time. So I buy the Simple Truth brand. Only issue with that I have is they don't have Simple Truth black eyed peas. I've only been able to find them at whole foods. But I have bought frozen black eyed peas, cooked them and used those. Obviously that takes longer for this very simple recipe. But I personally don't want to use the peas with all sort of ingredients added to it. Also, I use a mini food processor and do my cilantro and onions together to chop finely. In my experience, it's hard to chop cilantro in a mini food processor if it's just cilantro in there.
