Hey there, it’s Cathi from Cherry Blossom Kitchen back this month with Texas Caviar; a quick, easy and very flavorful recipe for your Cinco de Mayo party, Taco Tuesday or whenever you feel like having a healthy, mouth-watering salad with a kick, or a flavor-packed dip for your chips. Texas Caviar originated here in the Lonestar State in 1940 with many variations being enjoyed across the state; my spin on it hits all the flavor and texture notes I crave! Here in Texas, fresh sweet corn is available, but if it’s not where you are, use white or yellow canned corn, it will be equally as fabulous!
Enjoy!!
Texas Caviar
Serves 4-6
1 15 oz can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
1 15 oz can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 ear fresh corn, kernels cut from the cob
½ jalapeno pepper or more to taste, seeded and finely chopped
½ red pepper, cored, seeded and finely chopped
½ green pepper, cored, seeded and finely chopped
2 scallions, finely chopped
½ small red onion, finely chopped
½ bunch cilantro leaves, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
Dressing
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Juice of 1 lime
1 teaspoon sugar
Combine beans and vegetables in a large bowl and carefully toss to combine.
Whisk dressing ingredients in a small bowl and pour over the beans/vegetable mixture.
Cover and refrigerate an hour, or up to 24 hours.
Serve with multi-grain tortilla scoops, or chips of choice. Eat as a salad, or top your seafood, burgers, meat or crostini with this colorful, tasty medley.
To serve more than 4-6 people, the recipe is easily doubled.
