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.

    Hello Rosie, I made your Texas Caviar for my Women’s Group celebration on Saturday, July 13, 2024. I prepared it on Friday so that it would marry overnight. Very quickly it came together. It was a BIG hit. I cut up one whole jalapeno and served it on the side because I wasn’t sure of some of the ladies heat levels. They really enjoyed this refreshing salad. I placed nacho chips around the bowl along with the jalapeno but forgot to take a picture. I will definitely make again and post pictures. My grandchildren really enjoyed as well; I left a small bowl at home for them. Thank you, Rosie, for this refreshing salad!!
