The homemade dressing really kicks this recipe off! I did end up adding a few things. I omitted the jalapeno and the yellow bell pepper. I added a can of black beans, a can of pinto beans, 2 cans of shoepeg corn and 2 cans of chopped green chilis. Everyone flipped over it... will definitely make again!

YUM! I cut the recipe in half and made10 servings however it was sooo good that I ended up eating it as a meal...hence it only made 2 servings. Will definately make A LOT MORE next time and keep it in the fridge for a nice snack/lunch.

I liked this recipe a lot. First time trying Texas Caviar. I changed the recipe to my liking and it turned out great. I replaced canned corn for the yellow pepper (didn't have yellow pepper). I also used one can black beans and one can black-eyed peas & doubled the jalepeno pepper. Also, I used just 1 teaspoon of white vinegar and the juice of two limes, real garlic instead of powder. Options are endless... Avocado would be a great addition as well!

I brought this to GNO last night and it was a hit. Everyone wanted the recipe. Next time I make this I will double the recipe and use fresh tomatoes instead of canned (a previous reviewer was correct -- if you use canned, drain very well!). Loved it!!

We love this salad and the homemade dressing makes it so much better. Good as a salad or as an appetizer served with corn chips.

I followed this recipe fairly close. Only put in one jalapeno as we dont like it too hot. Added some flavor, but could use two and still fairly mild. Didnt put much olive oil as I didnt think it needed it. Also did not put cumin in as I dont care for it. I added a bit of spike seasoning which added a great flavor. I will make this again.

Really delicious!!! Neede a different way to serve black eyed peas for New Years day. Make sure you let it set in the fridge for at least an hour to let the flavors meld. It really males all the difference.

Not as tasty as I had hoped. I usually make Poor Man's Caviar by FAIRBORN on this site and I will continue to use that recipe. I sub Rotel for the tomatoes in both recipes, which adds flavor. I think I prefer the other recipe because the flavors are much more complex, the green onions, franks hot sauce, avocado,and oil and vinegar pairs perfectly with tortilla chips. It also calls for black beans instead of black eyed peas, which I also prefer.
