Mexican Caviar
Packed with flavors and textures, this Mexican Caviar is the perfect quick appetizer to make for your next potluck or BBQ.
Ingredients
- 1 cup black beans drained
- 1 cup corn kernels grilled
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 avocado
- 1 red onion
- 1 tomato
- 1-2 garlic
- 1 jalapeno
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 lime juiced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup cilantro chopped
Instructions
- Chop the veggies into small cubes and add them to a bowl along with the grilled corn and black beans.
- In another bowl, combine chopped onion and garlic with the lime juice, apple cider vinegar, oil, cilantro and seasonings.
- Pour this mixture over the veggies.
- Give it a mix and let it rest for a few minutes before you serve.
Notes
- Chop up your veggies around the same size as the beans to make the salsa look uniform and appealing.
- To lend a bit of sweetness to the Mexican Caviar, add some sugar or honey into the mix. I love using my jalapeno infused honey here.
- Make sure you rinse the beans well before you use them for the recipe, or they'll end up making the dish taste muddy.
- Mix everything gently. Overmixing can smash the beans, which is not what you would want.
