Cowboy Caviar
Print Recipe
If you’re on TikTok even the slightest bit, we’re willing to bet you’ve seen an iteration of summer’s hottest snack. And if you’re not on TikTok, allow us to introduce you to cowboy caviar. Also called Texas caviar, it’s a confetti-like mix of black-eyed peas, beans and colorful vegetables tossed in a vinaigrette, and yeah, it’s as good as it is trendy. (Although, fun fact, its origins date back to Texas in the 1940s, not the app.) Is it a salad, or a chip dip? We say both—dig in.
