Easy Texas Caviar

9/1/17

Easy Texas Caviar with Italian Dressing! Made with Black-eyed peas, corn, tomatoes, onions, and more!

Easy Texas Caviar bursting with color and flavor served in a white serving dish and garnished with tortilla chips for the perfect party snack!

A Delicious and Flavorful Recipe for Easy Texas Caviar!

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.

A classic white serving dish filled with flavorful Texas Caviar, garnished with cilantro and served alongside tortilla chips is an irresistible snack!

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.

A kaleidoscope of colors and flavors fill this classic white serving bowl set atop a rustic wooden table. Serve this Texas Caviar alongside tortilla chips for a crowd-pleasing snack!

Some people make Texas Caviar with Rotel, and I like that too. However, I prefer to use fresh diced jalapenos in my recipe.
