Southern Caviar

Starrynews's Note:

A co-worker brought this dish to a work potluck, and everyone was absolutely raving! I couldn't get enough of it, so I knew I had to get the recipe :) It is great with tortilla chips as a dip, or over some lettuce for a salad. As a bonus, it's so simple and quick to put together!

DH loved this!! I used homemade italian dressing and probably didn't have a full cup but I didn't really feel like making more. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to drain the rotel or not so I didn't and it turned out great. The next day I added avocado to change it up a bit and he loved it like that as well. Definitely a keeper for taste, ease, & nutrition!! Thanks Starry!!! Made for Veg*n Swap 26!!

Nice recipe. It had too much dressing for my taste. I added an entire jalapeno. Thanks for posting. Justine

Made this especially for DH as a surprise ~ he loves food surprises :) I put this together last night and sent some off for lunch with him today ~ got a call "What is this stuff ~ it's great!" so...there you go. Wonderful, colorful combination of textures and flavors. Thanks Starrynews for a new southern favorite! Made for PAC FALL 2009!
