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.

COWBOY CAVIAR
Depending on where you're from, this simple dip is known as cowboy caviar or Texas caviar, and it's a favorite at tailgates and potlucks all over the South. Its creator, Helen Corbitt, a dietitian from New York, had never heard of black-eyed peas when she moved to Texas in 1931. The exact details are fuzzy, but at some point in her 40 years working in restaurants there, she combined black-eyed peas with a simple vinaigrette, and it was a big hit. The recipe has evolved over the years, and you can find a number of variations online. Some contain corn and black beans (as this one does), and others avocado. Some call for bottled Italian salad dressing, others homemade. No matter how you tweak it, it's always good with a pile of tortilla chips.

Steps:
- Drain the peas well, rinse under running water and drain again. Transfer to a bowl. Add the scallions, jalapeños and cilantro and toss to mix. Whisk together the oil, lime juice and vinegar and pour over the beans. Toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer to a large glass jar or airtight plastic container. Marinate the mixture for three to five days, turning the jar occasionally to mix the ingredients.

Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe ingredients for the best flavor.
- Chop the vegetables into small, even pieces so they cook evenly.

- Add some chopped cilantro or parsley for a fresh, herbaceous flavor.
- Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later.
- Cowboy caviar is a great make-ahead dish; it will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
