Trader Joe's is putting its own twist on a cult classic condiment with the debut of its new Cowboy Caviar Salsa.
For those unfamiliar, Cowboy Caviar was originally developed when a chef was asked to create a dish using black-eyed-peas. This particular chef loathed the ingredient, so she pickled the peas with onions to create a savory salsa of sorts.
Today the condiment is a cult classic and now you can get it at your local Trader Joe's. Trader Joe's Cowboy Caviar Salsa swaps black-eyed peas for black beans, which have been mixed together with corn, onions, and bell peppers. This flavorful combination is then pickled in a blend of chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, and lime juice to create a tangy salsa with just a hint of heat.
