Cowboy Caviar

One of our most popular recipes, Cowboy Caviar is a refreshing dip that combines cooked Camellia Brand Blackeye Peas, tomatoes, peppers, red onion, and cilantro in a tangy red wine vinaigrette.

It’s a versatile recipe that’s often changed to please the palates of Texans, Californians, Mississippians and more. Some add corn or avocado, and some use pinto beans, black beans, or red kidney beans. Any which way you tweak it, it’s sure to be a crowd-pleaser.
