Notes
Notes About Black Bean Caviar Recipe:
- Black Bean Caviar is also known as Cowboy Caviar or Mexican Caviar.
- Barbara used canned Shoepeg corn, but feel free to use your own freezer corn if you have it.
- This Cowboy Caviar recipe is easily customized to suit your family's tastes. If you (or your picky kids) don't like onions, leave them out. Prefer red peppers over green peppers? Then use red ones instead. Don't be afraid to substitute!
- However, do NOT skip the marinating step. This recipe tends to get tastier over time as the dip marinates in the dressing. It is worth the wait, we promise!
- If you are one of those folks who have that gene that makes cilantro taste like soap (this is really a thing!), then leave it out. This Black Bean Caviar Salsa is just as yummy without it.
- Try serving over fish like Baked Tilapia, or with your favorite variety of tortilla chips.
- Add this to your spread of appetizers for game day or cook outs. Try it as a condiment along side of Crock Pot Taco Soup, Easy Taco Salad or Instant Pot Taco Meat.
