CLASSIC TEXAS CAVIAR
Don't bother with soaking and cooking beans for Classic Texas Caviar - the canned variety works well. But skip the bottled dressing, and take a little extra time to measure your own vinegar, oil and spices.

COWBOY CAVIAR
Thank Oklahoma for this easy, bright and tangy salad. It's made with one of the state's staple crops, black-eyed peas -- or cowpeas as some in the "Sooner State" like to say. With bursts of corn, tomato and pepper, it's a salad that can be served cold or at room temperature, making it perfect for a picnic or tailgate party.

SOUTHWESTERN CAVIAR (MOCK CAVIAR)
A beautiful presentation for a dip, this is one recipe that always ends with a clean platter. This recipe is an adaptation over the years from an old southwestern cookbook (I don't know where it ended up, but it was one of my first ever cookbooks). This is one of the recipes I keep in my camping recipe book because it's so easy to make ahead & then plate when we're ready to snack. Cook time reflects marinating time.

KANSAS QUAIL
This is the most requested camping food we have. We have these when we go camping EVERY time! We make dozens at a time and there are never any left. My son hates mushrooms and hates bacon but he eats these all up every time. These can also be cooked in the oven over a grill rack in a cake pan.

- Choose the right type of beans: Black-eyed peas are the traditional bean used in Kansas caviar, but you can also use other beans, such as chickpeas, kidney beans, or pinto beans.
- Don't overcook the beans: Beans should be cooked until they are tender but still hold their shape.
- Add some acidity: A little bit of vinegar or lemon juice will help to brighten up the flavors in Kansas caviar.
- Season to taste: Kansas caviar should be seasoned to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or chili powder.
- Chill before serving: Kansas caviar is best served chilled. This allows the flavors to meld together and develop.
