A fresh, vibrant cowboy caviar combining sweet peaches, spicy jalapeños, black beans, and corn, perfect for summer parties and quick gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh peaches, diced (about 2 large peaches; use firm, ripe peaches for best texture)
  • 1 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels (if frozen, thaw before using)
  • 1 small red bell pepper, finely diced
  • 1 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 1–2 fresh jalapeños, finely chopped (remove seeds for less heat)
  • ½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon honey or agave syrup
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Rinse and drain the black beans thoroughly to avoid any canned taste. Dice fresh peaches into roughly ½-inch pieces. Finely chop the jalapeños (start with one, then taste later to adjust heat). Chop the red onion and red bell pepper into small uniform pieces.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon honey, and 1 teaspoon ground cumin. Add salt and black pepper to taste.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, add diced peaches, black beans, corn kernels, red bell pepper, red onion, jalapeños, and chopped cilantro. Pour the dressing over the mixture and toss gently but thoroughly to coat everything evenly.
  4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer to an airtight container. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to marry.
  5. Before serving, give it a gentle stir and taste. Add more salt, lime juice, or jalapeños if desired. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

For less heat, remove jalapeño seeds or use milder peppers. Letting the salad chill for at least 30 minutes improves flavor melding. Add diced avocado just before serving to avoid browning. Can substitute honey with maple syrup for vegan option. Grilling peaches and corn adds smoky flavor.
