Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients - Dice the Roma tomatoes, bell peppers, and red onion into small and uniform pieces for even distribution throughout the dish. Rinse and drain the black beans and black-eyed peas thoroughly. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Drain the corn if using canned corn.
Step 2: Make the Dressing - In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together olive oil, fresh lime juice, red wine vinegar, sugar, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until the ingredients are fully combined and the sugar has dissolved. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Step 3: Combine Ingredients - In a large bowl, add the prepared tomatoes, bell peppers, red onion, black beans, black-eyed peas, corn, diced avocado, and chopped cilantro. Gently toss the ingredients using a wooden spoon or silicone spatula to evenly distribute all components.
Step 4: Add the Dressing - Pour the prepared dressing over the combined ingredients in the large bowl. Toss everything gently and thoroughly to ensure all the ingredients are coated with the dressing.
Step 5: Chill and Serve - Cover the bowl and refrigerate the cowboy caviar for at least 20-30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. After chilling, give it one final toss and serve with tortilla chips, as a topping for grilled protein, or as a standalone salad.
