“Corn, black bean and pepper salsa. Smoky sweet with just the right amount of kick” – Trader Joe’s
If you like salsa but this one is a must try. Its terrific. I love it. My wife loves it. In fact both of us think it could be a pick for a TJ’s Top Ten.
First you have to that name. “Cowboy Caviar” is a typical South Western dish made with kernels of corn, black beans or black eyed peas, in typical tomato salsa base.
Trader Joe’s Cowboy Caviar is a great version of this classic, maybe more in a salsa style with corn, black beans, red bell peppers, onions, jalapenos, lime juice and spices, with some kick to it from chipotle chiles in adobo, which give it a bit of heat plus a smoky undertone. TJ’s doesn’t have one of their heat level pictures on the jar. Call it a medium heat? This stuff is soooo good as a salsa, as a dip for chips, especially with the yummy Organic Corn Dippers, and its great on tacos, rice, eggs, mixed into veggies, alongside grilled chicken, or as a little side dish…. you name it, I think it will perk it up.
It comes in a jar so its a really good pantry item to have on hand. You can put out some of this with chips or crackers and you can have something in a few seconds for unexpected guests. A jar now goes for $2.99 $3.49 (13 oz)
I would buy it again.

I am so excited to try this. I am STILL angry they discontinued the previous black bean dip, which is not a salsa, more like a spread, easier to eat on crackers. I like the texture better of a dip. I tried Sprouts, not as good, too bitter. Harry’s and David had one but had to pay as much for shipping as I did for the dip. Still not as good as TJ’s. Now ya see why I am mad? ha ha I will be sure and post after trying, good or bad.!!!

Now I’m mad too about the old black bean dip/spread … it sounds like something I’d have loved!

It sounds like something I’d have loved! And I would’ve spread it on their gluten-free Crisp Crunchy Crisps, which I also love. 🙂
