Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large ripe avocados, halved and pitted
  • 1 cup cooked or canned black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup fresh corn kernels (frozen thawed works too)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, finely diced
  • 3 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1/2 small jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional)
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Carefully halve and pit the avocados. Use a spoon to scoop out about 1/3 of the flesh from each half, leaving a border so the skins hold their shape. Set the scooped avocado chunks aside in a bowl.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine black beans, corn kernels, quartered cherry tomatoes, diced red bell pepper, sliced green onions, chopped cilantro, and minced jalapeño if using.
  3. Fold the reserved avocado pieces gently into the veggie mixture to keep the filling creamy without turning it into mush.
  4. Whisk together fresh lime juice, honey, olive oil, ground cumin, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Taste and adjust sweetness or seasoning as needed.
  5. Pour the vinaigrette over the cowboy caviar mixture and toss gently to coat everything evenly.
  6. Spoon the dressed cowboy caviar back into the hollowed avocado skins, piling it high so each bite has a bit of everything.
  7. Serve immediately to keep the avocado from browning and maintain fresh crunch.

Notes

To prevent avocado browning, keep the avocado skins intact until serving and assemble just before eating. You can prep the filling and vinaigrette separately up to 24 hours in advance. Fresh lime juice is key for the vinaigrette’s bright flavor. For vegan adaptation, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
