Texas Caviar

By: Mark Roddey (View Profile)

We’ve all heard the old saying, “It’s best when served cold.” Well, such is the way for this Lone Star fare.

Ingredients:

Four 15-ounce cans black-eyed peas with jalapeno peppers (Trappey’s or Ranch Style brand are great.)

1 cup diced fresh green bell peppers

1 cup diced fresh red bell peppers

1 cup diced fresh green onions

1 cup diced fresh red onions

2 cups Creamy Golden Italian Dressing

1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic

1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro

1 tablespoon Creole seasoning

1 large mixing bowl

Procedure:

1. Drain black-eyed peas, then place in large mixing bowl. Now combine the red and green bell peppers, red and green onions, minced garlic, minced cilantro, Creole seasoning, and Creamy Golden Italian Dressing with the black-eyed peas, mixing together thoroughly.

2. Seal bowl contents airtight with plastic wrap, insuring infusion of flavors, and refrigerate for a few hours. Texas Caviar is best when served ice cold.
