This is my version of Texas Caviar and I want to let you know, "it rocks".
I made it for the first time for a camping trip my hubby and I took a couple of weeks ago.
We ate the entire jar the minute we cracked it open.
I think it's a great alternative to regular salsa. Also would work great in place of relish on hot dogs, on grilled chicken and I'm sure a ton of other ways that escape me for the moment.

Andrea,
ReplyDeleteThis Texas Caviar sounds delicious--I can easily see just gobbling it straight out of the jar. And so fresh and healthy--nice job!
Thanks, Kirsten. Is is as good as you think. My sister sent me a message today. It said "I made your bean salsa, and ate the whole thing by myself. In, One, Day!", lol. I totally understood.
DeleteTexas caviar is the best! I didn't know I liked black eyed peas until I tried it. Yours looks glorious--fresh and perfect for summer. Stopping by to say hi from Rattlebridge's Foodie Friday party :) (Amy | Club Narwhal).
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by Amy. I can eat an entire bowl by myself, lol.
