Texas Caviar
Contributed by Linda Wiegand
Here is a great version of a "classic"
southwestern dish!
Texas Caviar is a great southwestern dish. There seem to be almost as many variations of this dish as there are
Texans! You can make it mild, like this recipe. You can bring on the
heat by substituting jalapenos for the green chilis. You can use some
cayenne or hot sauce. You can also substitute black-eyed peas for the
black beans and on and on...
This particular recipe has a sweet dressing that provides a nice
contrast with the crunchy peppers, the onion and the beans...enjoy!
