The BEST Redneck (aka Cowboy, Hillbilly) Caviar Dip Recipe
This Redneck (aka Cowboy, Hillbilly) Caviar Dip Recipe is a colorful bean and corn dip that’s as easy as it is addictive! Packed with black beans, crisp veggies, sweet corn, and tossed in a zesty lime and olive oil dressing, this no-cook recipe is a go-to for potlucks, BBQs, and especially Cinco de Mayo celebrations.
Open and drain both cans of beans, then measure out 1 ½ cups of frozen corn. Rinse the beans and corn together in a colander and set them aside to drain while you prep the rest.
Wash all the fresh produce thoroughly. Dice the tomatoes, green bell pepper, and green onions, and chop the cilantro. Leave the avocado so you can add it right before serving.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained beans, corn, and all the chopped vegetables. Add fresh lime juice, olive oil, and salt, then stir everything together until well mixed.
Refrigerate for 30 minutes. When you’re ready to serve, slice the avocado and gently fold it in or layer it on top. Serve with tortilla chips, or over tacos, salads, and grilled chicken.
