A mix of black beans, black-eyed peas, and garbanzo beans, corn, onion, garlic, parsley, and basil tossed with a red wine and olive oil vinaigrette dressing makes a fabulous dip or side dish. Kidney beans and navy beans can also be used.

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.

Black beans absorb other flavors superbly, so try to leave this for at least 20 minutes before serving to allow the different flavors to blend together.

This is a simple recipe for Texas chili I learned from my mother. I like my chili with a little fire to it but you can adjust this recipe to your liking.
