Texas caviar - need recipe


Posted: Dec 23, 2011

You know that  salsa dip that uses black-eyed peas, green pepper, and Italian dressing and you scoop it up with frito or tortilla chips?  I need a good recipe. I'm wondering about substituting Rotel tomatoes in place of jalopeno peppers. There are a bunch of different ones on the Google, but none look the way I remember.  TIA.

It is perfect for a New Years get-together because the black-eyed peas are good luck, but I wanted something semi-healthy to take for our family gathering on Sunday.

Oh, yum! Definitely making this New Year's Day - mthead

Made something similar last year but it was served warm with cheese and done in a crock pot. Your version seems much fresher and livelier!

I made it and it was a real hit. I left out the fresh tomatoes and jalapenos and just put in a small can of Rotel diced tomatoes with green chiles. I left out all the spices and just used a robust style of Italian dressing. Be sure to make it at least 24 hours in advance. Served it with those scooper corn chips.
