MIXING WITH MAGGIE: It’s Cowboy Caviar!

GREENVILLE, N.C. (WITN) - On this week’s “MIXING WITH MAGGIE,” WITN’s Resident Foodie, Maggie Golden shows us how to make Cowboy Caviar!

Here’s what you’ll be needing for this recipe:

COWBOY CAVIAR:

• 3 Roma Tomatoes (with the seeds removed and diced)
• 2 ripe Avocadoes (diced)
• 1/3 cup of Red Onion (diced)
• 15-oz of Black Beans (rinsed and drained)
• 15-oz of Black Eyed Peas (rinsed and drained)
• 1 1/2 cups of frozen or fresh Sweet Corn (if frozen, make sure to thaw)
• 1 Bell Pepper (mix up Green & Red Peppers to add extra colors)
• 1 Jalapeno Pepper (with the seeds removed and diced)
• 1/3 cups of Cilantro (finely chopped)

COWBOY CAVIAR DRESSING:

• 1/3 cup of Olive Oil
• 2 tablespoons of Lime Juice (fresh is preferred, but store bought is perfectly okay too!)
• 1 tablespoon of Sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon of Salt
• 1/2 teaspoon of Pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon of Garlic Powder
• Tortilla Chips (when ready to serve)

Here are the SIMPLE directions:

• Combine the tomatoes, avocado, onion, black beans, black eyed peas, corn, pepper, jalapeno pepper and cilantro in a large bowl.
• Toss or stir to ensure that ingredients are mixed well
• On a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, red wine vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper and garlic powder.
• Pour the dressing over the other ingredients then be sure to toss or stir full so it’s all mixed well.
• NOTE: Keep refrigerated until ready to serve. (Otherwise, you’ll be wanting to mix the Cowboy Caviar quite often to help it keep the consistency.)
