Before we moved to Texas, our friends threw us a Texas themed going away party.
There was amazing BBQ food, cowboy hats, boots, badges and sweet tea.
All of the food went with the country & cowboy theme.
My favorite dish of the night was Texas Caviar.
I couldn't stop eating it, none of us could.
The next day, I asked for the recipe.
I kid you not, I've made it once a week since.
I usually have it for lunch with pita chips or all by itself.
I do have to say, it's the best with Fritos though.
This would be a great football party appetizer, although you may want to keep it home for yourself.
Enjoy!
Texas Caviar
Adapted from All Recipes
Ingredients:
1 can of corn (drained)
1 can of black beans (drained and rinsed)
1 can of black eyed peas (drained and rinsed)
1 cups of petite tomatoes, quartered
1 bell pepper chopped
1 8oz bottle of italian dressing
salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Mix the corn, beans, peppers and tomatoes together.
Add dressing little by little to coat. Taste as you go, you may not need the entire bottle.
I think about 6 oz of dressing is perfect. You can always add more if you need it.
Add Salt and pepper to taste.
*You can add fresh cilantro to the dish. Since I eat it leftover for a few days at a time, I don't add it*
*You can also try different variations with onions, red and yellow peppers*
