- 3 medium Roma tomatoes
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 medium Green bell pepper

Instructions
Drain and rinse the black beans, black-eyed peas, and sweet corn. Set them aside in a large mixing bowl.
Dice the Roma tomatoes, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and red onion into small, evenly sized pieces. Add them to the mixing bowl with the beans and corn.
Chop the cilantro and add it to the bowl.
Peel and dice the avocados into bite-sized chunks. Add the avocado to the bowl last to avoid browning, and gently toss to combine.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, lime juice, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the mixture in the large bowl and gently toss until everything is well coated.
Cover and refrigerate the cowboy caviar for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Optional: Serve with tortilla chips as a scoopable dip or enjoy as a side dish or salad!
