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.

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.
