When I first heard "cowboy caviar," I had no idea what my friend was talking about. You just never hear those two words together! But once I found out he meant this amazing salad, I was all in.
It's seriously everything you love about Southwest food all in one sweet, savory, crunchy, fresh bowl! This is another recipe that you could totally customize, adding or taking away anything you wish. It's a completely foolproof recipe that even your kids will enjoy (and will love to make along with you).
Cowboy Caviar Health Benefits
This salad is loaded to the brim with so many of our favorite power foods!
Black Beans and Black-Eyed Peas
Just one 15 oz. can each of black beans and black-eyed peas (respectively) gives you:
- Protein: 25 grams / 22 grams
- Iron: 45% / 40%
- Fiber: 100% / 76%
Tomatoes
We will never stop lauding the benefits of tomatoes, especially for our skin. Lycopene is an incredible antioxidant that fortifies your skin from sun damage.
Avocado
Avocado is perhaps one of nature's best superfoods. One avocado gives you nearly 30 grams of healthy fats along with magnesium, potassium, and vitamins C, E, and K.
Have Fun With This One!
Again, there are no limits to this salad! Add your favorite cheeses, spices, veggies, whatever strikes your mood. Not a fan of black-eyed peas? Just double up on the black beans. We hope you enjoy this!
