In the kitchen with Kelley: Cowboy caviar

With summer in full swing, I’m looking for recipes that require little to no time spent over a hot stove or with the oven on. It just gets too hot to cook much.

The first time I had this dish, it was served with corn chips for dipping, but I prefer to eat it on top of greens these day — more as a fiesta salad than a Southwestern dip. But whatever you prefer, this is a quick and easy recipe that’s sure to please.

This recipe features black-eyed peas, which are actually beans, are a good source of fiber, potassium, protein and iron. They are low in fat and calories. It also features black beans, which provide special support for digestive tract health. And it features corn, a vegetable that is packed full of nutrients. If you can find them choose organic vegetables canned in BP-free cans.
