Also known as Texas caviar, cowboy caviar is a combo of beans and crunchy vegetables in a tart vinaigrette-style dressing. It most often includes black-eyed peas, but we make ours with black and pinto beans. Enjoy it as a dip with tortilla chips, a salsa over grilled chicken or fish (or spooned into tacos), or a side salad. It keeps well for a couple of days, so it’s a great make-ahead option.
