Cooking: Texas Caviar

Another request! Ok, we got this recipe from cooks.com a few years ago and have made it several times since. So we cannot take credit for it. It always seems to be a crowd pleaser because it is very different than what most folks bring as an appetizer. Everywhere we've brought this it has been a hit. Most folks in our circle had never heard of such a thing. It's delightfully simple. Essentially it's a dip/salsa type appetizer. We have used Fritos Scoops (yes, we are fans of them, as you have read in another recipe) and baked Tostitos Scoops as the delivery vessel. I highly recommend prepping and making this the day before you plan on serving it. While it's delicious either way, letting the flavor mix and set in over night brings it to another level.

Ingredients:
1 can white hominy
2 cans black-eyed peas with jalapeño peppers
2 tomatoes, chopped
Green onions
1 green pepper, chopped
Parsley (fresh), cut up
1 (8 oz.) bottle Italian dressing

Directions:
Mix all ingredients. Pour dressing over and let set overnight, if possible. the longer it sets, the better. Drain most of liquid before serving.

Enjoy!
