Like most Southerners I grew up with black eye peas but I have never tried them cold until I found this dish.   This Cowboy Caviar, sometimes called Texas Cowboy salad, can be made with different ingredients.   For instance, I have a friend that adds avocado to hers, sounds great, doesn’t it?

I choose to make my caviar or as some of my friends call it, hillbilly caviar with some basic ingredients, that really add a variety of flavor. And it’s seasoned with a zesty dressing and plenty of salt and pepper.  And it’s sure to be welcome at any picnic or cookout.

This Cowboy Caviar or  Texas caviar can be served with chips or as a side dish.   I know it goes great with BBQ brisket and I’m sure that’s the way most self-respecting Texas eat it.   Yeppers, we are partial to dishes that can be served with BBQ.

    This looks so delicious, Evelyn ! I do not think I have ever had black eyed peas before, but I have seen some in the supermarkets. Interesting name – the Caviar bit !

    This would be perfect for the game Sunday – and I love that it's a healthier option than most game day food! 🙂
