Easy and Yummy Cowboy Caviar

• 1 (15 oz.) can black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 (15 oz.) can black eyed peas, drained and rinsed
• ½ cup whole corn kernels ( I used canned corn, but drained it first)
• 3 scallions, both white and green parts are chopped
• ⅓ cup red onion, chopped finely or diced
• 3 small bell peppers, chopped (approx. ¼ cup)
• 1 small jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
• ½ cup cherry tomatoes, sliced thinly
• ½ ripe avocado, cut into small cubes
• ½ cup fresh cilantro, rinsed and chopped

1. To make the dressing: Whisk together the oil, lime juice, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, honey and garlic. Set it aside.
2. For the Texas Caviar dip (or salad): Place, black beans, black eyed peas, corn kernels, scallions, red onion, bell peppers, jalapeno pepper, cherry tomatoes, avocado, and fresh cilantro in a bowl.
3. Drizzle the dressing over the salad. Give it a gentle mix.
4. Taste for seasoning and add in if necessary.
5. Add in a few dashes of your favorite hot sauce (if using) and serve with tortilla chips.
