Easy Texas Caviar Recipe Is the Best "Cowboy Caviar" Bean Salsa Recipe

Texas Caviar is a delicious bean salsa that's typically accompanied by tortilla chips. Texas caviar was created in Texas around 1940 by Helen Corbitt, who went on to become director of food service at Neiman Marcus in Dallas, Texas.

Corbitt first served the dish on New Year's Eve in Houston, then later in Austin, where it was given the name Texas Caviar (though it's also known as Cowboy Caviar). This recipe even includes black-eyed peas for good luck in the New Year!

Whether you serve this delicious salsa recipe as an appetizer for a weekend get-together or just as a weekday snack, this healthy bean dip recipe needs to be in your recipe rotation. It's so easy – just toss everything into one bowl.

Serve this nutritious salsa recipe with tortilla chips or potato chips – and throw in some chopped avocado to add a fresh and creamy punch.
