Savor the Flavor of Texas Caviar

A Classic Dip with a Twist

In the heart of the Lone Star State, Texas Caviar reigns supreme as a beloved dip. While some may argue it’s incomplete without a drizzle of Italian dressing, we’re shaking things up by letting the bold flavors of pickled jalapeños, roasted corn, and fresh dressing take center stage.

Elevate Your Snack Game

This versatile dip can be made up to two days in advance, refrigerated in a covered container, and served with a side of tortilla chips. But don’t stop there! Use leftovers to add a burst of flavor to scrambled eggs or broiled fish.

Ingredients

For the dressing:

• 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
• 1 medium garlic clove, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

For the dip:

• 2 medium cobs white corn (about 1 pound), shucked
• 1 (15-ounce) can black-eyed peas, drained and rinsed
• 2 Pickled Jalapeños, stems removed and finely chopped
• 1 medium Roma tomato, seeded and cut into small dice
• 3/4 cup red bell pepper, seeded, white pith removed, and cut into small dice
• 1/2 cup small dice white onion

To serve:

• 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
• Tortilla chips

Instructions

Dressing

Combine vinegar, garlic, salt, cumin, and pepper in a large nonreactive bowl. Whisk constantly while slowly adding oil in a thin stream until fully incorporated. Set aside.

Roasting the Corn

Heat the oven to 450°F and arrange a rack in the middle. Place corn cobs on the oven rack and roast until knife tender and golden brown in spots, about 25 minutes. Remove to a cutting board until cool enough to handle, then slice kernels off the cobs.

Assembling the Dip

Add black-eyed peas, jalapeños, tomato, bell pepper, onion, and corn kernels to the bowl with the dressing. Stir until well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Serve and Enjoy

Stir in cilantro and serve with tortilla chips. Get ready to indulge in the perfect blend of flavors that will leave you wanting more!
