I took this recipe to a BBQ for the 4th and it received rave reviews. So many people commented that it was delicious and requested the recipe. I served it with tortilla chips, but people enjoyed scooping it up with celery, red pepper, and even used it as a condiment on their hot dogs and burgers! I cut the recipe in half after reading other reviews and it still made plenty for the crowd of 20 that were at the cookout. I did make the full amount of dressing, but reduced the amount of olive oil by 1/2 since some people said it was too oily. It came out great! Thank you for this wonderful recipe!

LOVED this recipe!! Took it to a graduation party (1st time I ever made it) and everyone was asking for the recipe. I think I'll try adding avocado next time. This recipe makes a HUGE amount. I would cut in half if using as a dip (the whole amount makes a large "salad" :) It is very pretty with all the colors. Lots of chopping involved, although not a difficult recipe, just time consuming!

This was easy and delicious. I used Bush's low sodium beans to cut down on the sodium a little, and didn't miss any flavor. I also added 2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lime juice (because I had it handy). I made it to bring to my in-laws and was immediately told that some of them don't eat beans. Well, they ate this like crazy - ha ha! Great recipe - I'm planning to make more next weekend!

This is one of our favorite recipes for this "Texas Caviar" I also half the ingredients - along with the liquid as if you use full it is was to oily - also used canned jalpenos. Always a crowd pleaser We have a bowl in the refrigerator at all times. GOOD GOOD GOOD

I love this recipe. It's the best.It refrigerates for quite awhile so is ideal for snacks and easy lunches. It's fantastic with corn chips or with avocado and cheese in a wrap. Try adding some cumin!

This is good. I halved this recipe, except for adding the full amount of green chiles because I had a whole can. I used yellow pepper instead of green. I did think there was something a little lacking in the dressing - maybe cumin. I may add some to the leftovers. This was great with grilled steak and lime. Thanks!

I brought this to a superbowl party and it was a hit although I thought it lacked 'personality'. I did way less corn, I only did black beans, and I added some salt and some garlic to it. It was good but not great.

This recipe was a great base for the way I like Texas Caviar. I ended up using two cans of black beans and one can of corn, then halved the rest of the ingredients. I added one tomato, diced and seeded and 1 avocado. Like another reviewer, I halved the dressing, and still found it to be too much. I also added 1/2 tsp ground cumin and 1/4 tsp ground corriander to the dressing and substituted 2 cloves minced garlic for the garlic powder. I like how this recipe boils the dressing and then lets it cool; that mellowed the flavor of the garlic a bit. With these additions, I give it five stars! Perfect "side" to bring to parties and BBQs!

So good! I added a can of drained chopped tomatoes w/chilies and skipped the can of chilies. I used a sweet onion and did not need any additional sugar. I also added some feta and avocado at the end. Served with some home baked torilla chips for a low fat high fiber treat. Great recipe for a crowd!

Awesome!!! I did have the beans and corn as suggested. It made plenty. I used garbanzo beans instead of pinto, just a personal preference. I would suggest also halving the dressing too, I had to dump some out because it was too juicey. I definitly would take the time to make your own dressing...its so much tastier than the italian dressing! LOVE THIS!!

Very pretty dish! I cut the recipe in half and still filled a medium-size bowl. It keeps well in the fridge though so I don't mind the leftovers. I didn't have pinto beans so used kidney beans instead and it was fine. Also, when I tasted the dressing, it seemed just a tad bit olive oil-y so I added a squirt of "Zesty Italian" dressing and that was good. We ate this as a side dish with Black Bean and Rice Enchiladas and also as a dip with tortilla chips. I prefer it with the chips but hubby liked it all by itself!

I thought this was absolutely delicious, though it wasn't a big hit at my Christmas party. Someone commented that it was a pretty dish but nobody seemed to eat it except for me. I'll probably make this again as a cold salad but not for a party. I think our friends must not be bean eaters. FYI, this was easy to eat and delicious with Fritos Scoops.

Should be called "Crack" Texas Caviar...it is that good. Used granulated Splenda instead of sugar. Made 5 servings but kept the 10-serving amounts of bell peppers, onions, vinegar and chile peppers. Also threw in 1/2 can of garbanzo beans I had left over. Fantastic!

This recipe is fantastic. Every time I make it I get rave reviews and it disappears. Yes, it makes a lot, so if you are offering a lot of other dishes you might want to cut it in half. However, leftovers are great...I slice some grilled chicken and offer it up as fajitas.

Really liked this recipe. I read the reviews and took some suggestions. I used navy beans instead of pinto beans, and half the cilantro suggested per my personal taste. Only complaint was too much oil. I will cut back on that next time I make it. There will be a next time.

This is really good and everyone loves it! The first time I made this I left out the cilantro because one of the guests hates it, but I just made it with the cilantro and it was even better. Only change I made was to use 1/4 cup lime juice and 1/4 cup rice vinegar instead of the 1/2 cup rice vinegar, mainly because I really like lime.

I skip the green pepper and use an orange or yellow. I also use green onions for the onion. I use a 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup of sugar and 1 cup of oil. I aldo incorporate 2 cloves of minced garlic into bean mixture and skip powdered garlic. I have not tried this with cilantro although I do like cilantro.
