Texas Caviar FAQ

What is Texas caviar made of?

Texas Caviar, also known as Cowboy Caviar, uses a mixture of black-eyed peas, celery, cilantro, sweet yellow corn, green pepper, red pepper, onions, pinto beans, black beans, zesty Italian salad dressing, and salt and pepper. This gives it a flavorful, zesty taste perfect for pairing with tortilla chips.

Do you drain the beans to make black eyed peas dip?

The black beans, pinto beans, and black-eyed peas should be drained before making Texas caviar.

Is this recipe gluten-free?

While most Italian dressing should be gluten-free, it is still best to check the bottle before using it in this recipe. Otherwise, this is a gluten-free Texas caviar recipe everyone can enjoy!

How long is Cowboy Caviar good for in the fridge?

Homemade black eyed peas dip is good for 4-5 days when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
