Easy Texas Caviar with Italian Dressing! Made with Black-eyed peas, corn, tomatoes, onions, and more!
I just love Texas Caviar. It’s one of my favorite things to snack on while lounging and binge watching my favorite shows. Are you unfamiliar with Texas Caviar? Well let me tell ya about it. Texas Caviar is a black-eyed pea salad with tomatoes, bell peppers, corn, onions, and some times avocado.
The ingredients are drizzled with Italian dressing ( sometimes people make Texas Caviar with apple cider vinegar instead). I like to use a combination of fresh vegetables, with canned vegetables.
Some people make Texas Caviar with Rotel, and I like that too. However, I prefer to use fresh diced jalapenos in my recipe.
I like to serve this Easy Texas Caviar with organic blue corn tortilla chips, or sometimes Chili Cheese Fritos ( OMG talk about amazing!)
