Texas Caviar



First, thanks to my good friend, Julia, for this super delicious recipe. It's a Texas staple but there are many different variations. The common denominator is that true Texans will eat Texas caviar with Frito chips...you know, because we're classy. However, as Julia pointed out, this would also be a tasty side dish in its own right.

Below I'm giving the ingredients for a "party-sized" batch. If you're just making it for dinner or for yourself, I'd leave out the can of black beans and corn, and reduce the amount of vinaigrette.

Ingredients:
-2 cans black eyed peas
-1 can black beans
-1 can corn
-1/2 diced red pepper
-1/2 C roughly chopped cilantro
-3 T diced jalepenos
-1/4 finely sliced and diced red onion
-1/4 C red wine vinegar
-1/4 C EVOO
-2 T brown sugar

Steps
1.  Chop veggies.










2. Mix all of the above and let sit at least 4 hours (overnight is even better).
