Ingredients for Redneck Caviar

To make this simple recipe you will start with a pound of diced tomatoes (cherry or Roma are my favorites but anything goes), one diced red bell pepper, a large jalapeño that has been diced and seeded, and a half of a finely diced onion (red or white, your call depending on preference).

The canned goods you will need for this recipe are a 15 ounce can of drained sweet corn, a 15 ounce can of drained and rinsed black eyed peas, and a 15 ounce can of drained and rinsed black beans.

For the remainder of the ingredients for your redneck caviar, you will need a cup of loosely packed cilantro, 4 tablespoons of olive oil, 3-4 tablespoons of red wine vinegar, 2 teaspoons of chili powder, a teaspoon of cumin, a teaspoon of kosher salt, and the juice from a large lime (about 2 tablespoons of juice).

How to Make Redneck Caviar

Step 1

The first step to making redneck caviar is to gather your ingredients and get everything prepped. Open and drain the sweet corn. Drain and rinse the beans. Dice the tomatoes and bell pepper and de-seed and dice the jalapeño. Chop and measure out the cilantro and dice the onion.

Step 2

Next up is to add all the vegetables to a large bowl and mix them up. Then add the olive oil, vinegar, chili powder, cumin, salt, and lime juice. Mix all of it together until it is well combined.

Step 3

Do a taste test and add a little of any of the seasonings to taste or if you’d prefer a little more spice add a second jalapeño or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes. You can serve this right away or optionally you can let it chill in the fridge for a half hour to let the flavors combine a little.

Serving and Storing Instructions

To garnish this recipe, add a little extra chopped cilantro. If you’re a cheese fan you can always add some shredded cheese, sliced string cheese slices, or feta. All of those work well with this recipe. You can also do a small drizzle of Frank’s Red Hot if you want a little extra kick to your redneck caviar.

The standard for serving this recipe is tortilla chips and you can never go wrong there. To go outside the box a little bit, this recipe is a solid option on a bed of lettuce as a salad, as well. You can also simply use this recipe as a topping for tacos or nachos or the like.

One of my other favorites is to dish up a little redneck caviar in a half of a seeded red or green bell pepper. It makes a nice edible bowl that works well with the flavors of the recipe.

To store this recipe simply place it into an airtight container and refrigerate. It will keep well in the fridge for about 5 days. This being said, it’ll be finished by then anyways!
