      This is very very good! I first saw Texas Caviar in the deli section at my supermarket where it was marketed as a spicy bean salad. I've always wanted to make some at home! This recipe really hit the spot - it's cool and nicely spicey (I was afraid it would be scorching hot with the jalapeno and the red pepper but it's not) and has a really good bean salsa flavor. I served it with tortilla chips like a dip and it was yummy! I added chopped tomatoes and it was a nice addition. I used fat-free Italian dressing (storebought) so it was healthy too! Thanks, Miss Annie!

      Delicious Texas Caviar, Miss Annie. I made it last weekend for the football games. My husband and his pals liked it so much, that we are going to have it again for the Super Bowl Party. Perfect blend of spices and seasonings. Really love the cumin flavor. Thanks for sharing this one.

      Very good, I cut out the jalapeno because I don't handle hot stuff. I also used fat free dressing and added cilantro. I live in Amarillo and that place is something unique.

      Yum, Yum!!! My husband and I love Texas caviar and so far, this is the best recipe I have tried for it. The spices are just right. Great with tortilla chips. Thanks for sharing.

      Made this for New Year's for good luck. I cut the recipe in half and used a red bell pepper. Very good!

      This was so good! The entire batch disappeared with in an hour! I substituted one of the cans of black eyed peas for black beans and added in 3/4 cups of white corn in as well. I also added in some hot sauce and extra ground red pepper for a little extra zest. Thanks!

      You gotta love the Big Texan! This was a great dish. I was planning on adding tomato when I looked in my refrigerator and noticed I had some homemade pico de gallo that needed used, so I added that in place of the tomato I was going to add, the onion and the jalapeno. I really like the flavor the cilantro gave this. I left out the green bell pepper (I thought I had one but I didn't). I ended up adding a little extra cumin just because I love cumin, but this was a great recipe!

      This made a very tasty dip! I subbed a serrano for the jalapeno and added a little extra cayenne pepper. I normally serve dips like this with tortilla chips, but since my husband is a Fritos hound, I decided to serve it with Fritos Scoops--the dip was perfect with them. :) Thanks for posting the recipe, Miss Annie!

      This was reallly good. I doubled the recipe and made it for a party yesterday and it was all gone by the end of the day. I'm really glad I tried this one and it won't be the last time I will make it! Thanks a lot! Update: It's sad really. I've committed this recipe to memory after I made this at least 20 times (no joke) since I tried it last august... I always use fat free italian and there is no loss in flavor. If I make it for a social event, I make it very colorful by using a combination of kidney beans, pinto beans, and black beans instead of the black-eyed peas. I also sub some red onions, red bell peppers for half the white onions and green bell peppers to make it really colorful. Top it off with sprigs of cilantro and you're ready to go. I hope everyone enjoys this recipe as much as I have. Thanks Miss Annie!

      We've never had Texas caviar before, so we thought we'd try it. It was pretty good, but I doubt I would make it again.

      I've been looking for a version of what we call "LA Caviar" which stands for Lower Alabama Caviar. This is almost the exact recipe. For me to give a five-star rating a recipe has to be truely exceptional, so a 4-star is an excellent rating for me. I did add a little more salt and some chopped cilantro which was in my kitchen. A great addition in my opinion.

      A huge success - I didn't have any black eyed peas so I subbed with black beans and kidney beans - delish. Extremely easy dish to make - you can also save time by mixing the ingredients early and saving in a jar until you want a snack or side dish.

      HAD SO MUCH FUN MAKING THIS! The name alone hooked me at first, but then the dish was super! Took it to a weekend BBQ and people loved it. Very flavorful--not too hot. Just great.

      Had Texas caviar at the Cowgirl Hall of Fame restaurant a few weeks ago and really liked it. This recipe puts that tasty dip to shame - it is sooo good. I used a reduced fat dressing and noone was the wiser. Like Edith, I could stand there and eat this with a spoon or as a side dish for dinner.

      I was so glad to see that you had posted this recipe. Since I live in Amarillo, I had to try it. It is wonderful. It keeps well in the refrigerator for a few days if it's sealed up in a tight container. Of course, it doesn't last long enough to keep for a long period of time. Great dip!
