Delicious! I took another reviewer's suggestion and added lime juice. I also doubled the recipe and used one can of black beans and one can of black-eyed peas. I had bought an avocado to use, but because the party we were at was going on for such a long time I didn't end up using it. It was still delicious though! I also added 1/2 a jalapeno, minced. Very good! Thanks!!!

I made this without the avocado (the one I had was under-ripe) and it was still great. When (not if!) I make it again, I will take the advice of the poster who substituted lime juice for half the vinegar, just to brighten it up a bit more.

This is the best of the Texas Caviar recipes here and is good but being an old Texas gal I did have to make a few changes which I think makes a great recipe a little better. I double the recipe and use a can of each bean and two cans of shoe peg corn. Add a fresh chili pepper minced with the garlic and oil. Substitute fresh lime juice for 1/2 the vinegar. If you like smoky hot flavors add chioplte chili powder. Add about a cup of chopped red onion with the other vegetables. I make this a day ahead if I have a busy party prep day and add the avocado right before I serve it. Babs I have used a few of your recipes and your are a great cook!
