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.

BLACK-EYED PEA SALSA (COWBOY CAVIAR)
A cross between Salsa and Cowboy Caviar made using caned fire roasted tomatoes as right now tomatoes are out of season and looked like yuk-o as well as being more than a little pricy. 30 minute stand time not showing in prep or cook time.

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.

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.
