Part pico de gallo, part bean salad, Baked Bean Cowboy Caviar is a fresh, flavorful, savory and subtly sweet party dip or side.
Flavorful and Fresh
Easy, fun, fresh and sure to make a good impression, this Baked Bean Cowboy Caviar is full of delicious flavor and texture. Canned baked beans, corn, and fresh veggies like red onion, bell peppers and tomatoes add tons of interest while garlic, fresh lime and jalapeño give it just the right amount of kick. Serve it as a dip or a side salad at a summer cookout. Either way, it’s sure to please any rough-and-tumble crowd!
You’re Gonna be Popular
If you’re a fan of Trader Joe’s Cowboy Caviar Salsa, you’re gonna want to give this recipe a try! It’s equally good as an appetizer dip or as a side salad to a meat dish (like my 3-Ingredient Slow Cooker Pulled Pork, or some Skillet Sliders). This simple dish is so easy and perfect. You won’t be able to get enough!
Texas Caviar’s Sweeter Side
While Texas Caviar is usually made with black-eyed peas and black beans, this version uses sweet and savory baked beans. I love the baked bean version of this dip because baked beans are such a “cowboy” bean and they add great flavor and texture. They’re usually sweetened with brown sugar so they add such a nice balance.
