Honing into my South Georgia roots, is redneck caviar. If you call it something else, that’s fine. You can add or subtract what ever you like, and adjust the ingredients to your likings. By all means, please make it how you like. Some people add some rotel, I leave it out. Just thought I would share this. Eat it with a Tostito scoop or shovel it in with a spoon. It goes good on blacked fish tacos.
1 green bell pepper
1 red bell pepper
1 jalapeño
1/2 Vidalia onion (can use an alternative sweet onion)
1/2 red onion
1 bunch cilantro (taste like soap? Leave it out)
1/2 lime juice
2 big cans Shoe peg corn
1 can black eye peas
1 can black beans
1/2-1 bottle Italian dressing

Such a great summertime snack, I also make it at new years to get my black eyed peas in. We call it cowboy caviar.
Love that salad! So many options.
Love me a bean salad!
New Mexico: Black beans, corn, purple onion, cilantro and lime.
Have some of this in the fridge from my mom, love it!
I love this!
I do love Cowboy Caviar. I sometimes add a diced avocado and tomato. I love it with corn chips.
We just call it three bean even though that’s often a very different dish. Mom started with 3 bean, and kept adding stuff until it’s like yours now and on chips or as a side.
I don’t do cilantro, instead preferring parsley. I’ve also found adding roasted pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds adds a great crunch. For the dressing I agree on easy Italian, or sometimes I’ll get some good honey, olive oil, vinegar, basil and oregano and give it a spin with a hand blender. I always forget the lime or lemon juice, so yours is a good reminder to give it a better zing.
Looks delicious
I forgot my three sisters, one also to add is squash. I am ashamed.
An also sub parsley for those that don’t like cilantro!
Thanks for this! I was checking out a commercially produced version of this at the store and was figuring I could make it better and cheaper myself.
