Steps:
- 1. In a small bowl whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, ground cumin, ground cayenne and crushed red pepper.
- 2. In a large bowl combine the black bean, black eyed peas, corn, red onion, tomatoes, jalapeno, bell pepper and cilantro.
- 3. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the caviar and toss to coat. Store covered in the fridge until 30 minutes prior to serving. Retoss right before serving.
- 4. NOTES Use any colored bell pepper or use a variety for color. Mix up to 1 day in advance but hold the chopped cilantro until about an hour before. In a hurry? Skip the dressing and add 1/2 cup zesty Italian dressing. Feel free to add finely diced avocado. However if you are preparing this in advance add the avocado right before serving. Store leftovers up to 4 days in an airtight container in the fridge.
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.

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.
