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.

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.

This is one of the best 'texas caviar' type recipes I have tried. I love the fast and easy aspect of this as well as this is all typically 'in the house already' food. Served at a huge party and guests kept gravitating back to the side of the room where this was sitting. Good thing we weren't on a boat as we would have capsized! Thanks for posting!

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.

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!

Excellent!! I love it and it's a healthy alternative to those fattening dips. I did add a can of Rotel tomatoes (drained) and I added a bunch of cilantro (chopped)... and added extra chopped green pepper.

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.

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.

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.
