I first tried this dip/salsa at a work picnic. It was so good I had to have the recipe. A real hit with parties and large gatherings. Serve with Tostitos scoop chips for a hearty taste! The secret is in the marinade. Not a difficult recipe but time consuming due to chopping of veggies.

TEXAS CAVIAR
In Texas caviar, black-eyed peas and chile peppers are layered with mustard seeds, fennel seeds, or oregano and cumin, and then pickled. These three variations can be used as side dishes or condiments. Try all three in separate one-pint jars; or use a three-pint jar and make just one, tripling the spice mixture of your choice.

TEXAS CAVIAR
The second best thing I have gotten from Texas! Actually, this salsa recipe comes from our bishop's wife. She makes it for every church activity and it is always devoured! Last night I told her I couldn't leave Rexburg without her salsa recipe so here it is. The recipe makes enough to feed our entire church, so you could cut the recipe in half or thirds.

Tips:
- Choose fresh and ripe vegetables: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your Texas Caviar. Choose fresh, ripe vegetables that are free of blemishes.
- Chop your vegetables evenly: This will help them cook evenly and create a more consistent texture. Use a sharp knife and cut the vegetables into small, bite-sized pieces.
- Don't overcook the vegetables: Texas Caviar is best when the vegetables are still slightly crisp. Cook them just until they are tender, but still retain their color and texture.
- Use a good quality olive oil: The olive oil you use will also impact the flavor of your Texas Caviar. Choose a high-quality, extra virgin olive oil that has a fruity, peppery flavor.
- Season your Texas Caviar to taste: Add salt, pepper, and chili powder to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as cumin, garlic powder, or onion powder, if desired.
- Chill your Texas Caviar before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. Serve chilled, as a dip, salad, or side dish.
Conclusion:
Texas Caviar is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It's a great appetizer, side dish, or main course. It's also a healthy and nutritious dish that's packed with fresh vegetables. With its bold flavors and vibrant colors, Texas Caviar is sure to be a hit at your next gathering!
