Made this exactly as written except to use black beans instead of black eyed peas. The sauce is way too oily! Oily and not very tasty. Am now considering draining off the sauce somehow and replacing with some Italian dressing. There are better cowboy caviar recipes out there.
I did the same thing as some of the other cooks here. I made the oil mixture, tasted it, and decided against it. All the veggies really need is salt, pepper, and a bit of cumin. There's enough liquid in the canned beans and corn, even when drained, to make a sauce. I also used chopped tomatoes and a can of green chilis to give it more flavor and kick. Yummy!
Delicious! My family loved it! I used pinto beans, black beans, half an onion, and half a red pepper. When serving, strain the beans with a slotted spoon. You can make another batch with the remaining marinade. Terrific!
I didn't care for the dressing at all so I had to throw it out (too oily and flavorless). I'm glad I didn't put it on the bean/corn mixture before tasting it. Instead I used a prepare balsamic vinegar dressing.
WAY too much dressing for the ingredients, and very oily. I'll be looking for a different cowboy caviar recipe.
I made this on New Year's Day as a non-traditional way to serve black-eyed peas. I followed the recipe closely but I chose to put in only 1/2 cup of onion because I don't care for the taste of raw onions. This reminds me of Three-Bean Salad and the dressing basically tasted like the liquid from sweet pickles. I boosted the Southwestern flavor by adding some cumin and some chili powder to taste. Not sure I'll make this again since the canned ingredients listed are not usually on my pantry shelf. Thanks for posting.
This is an excellent recipe except my husband isn't big on the beans so I used a can of the tiny peas drained and a can of French style green beans drained. Otherwise I followed the recipe.
Pretty good, but not my favorite "caviar" recipe on this website.
A friend brought this to a weekend get away and we couldn't get enough of it. So delicious! I will definitely be making this in the future. Might make it for a family birthday party this weekend.
