Here’s wishing all my readers a Happy New Year 2011. It is considered good luck to eat black eyed peas on New Year’s day, especially in the Southern parts of America. Texas Caviar is popular in the Lone Star state as the name suggests, and thankfully has nothing to do with actual caviar.
Although the typical ‘chavLi AamTi’ or ‘chavLi UsaL’ are popular dishes in our Maharashtrian kitchen, the Texas caviar had not made an appearance as yet. Healthy, nutritious and easy to make, this is a great dish to take to a potluck, and that’s where I first came across this wonder. This is so easy to make that it was always on the back burner..well, not quite..lol
As always I scoured the web for recipes and there are several variations. I went with what I had available and made some changes to suit my tastes. Texas Caviar is generally doused in Italian dressing, but I made my own honey/chili dressing. I have used dry black eyed peas from scratch but you can of course use canned ones. The detailed recipe is as follows –

Texas Caviar is a quick and easy tasty vegan dish you can make anytime with common kitchen ingredients.
