Ever get the feeling we\u2019re all making the same 100 recipes in slightly different ways? I make a black bean salad periodically that\u2019s just a thrown together mix of black beans, corn, red onion, tomato, sometimes cucumber and avocado with lime, cumin and olive oil, and a little salt and pepper. A few states over, it\u2019s got black-eyed peas, jalapeno and cilantro and they call it Cowboy Caviar.\u00a0 Call it what you want, this salad doubles as a rustic salsa, and it\u2019s spot on for those of us getting our vegetable on, for those watching football and for general New Year\u2019s good luck.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Although it’s black-eyed peas that are called for on New Year’s Day, we tend to do red beans and rice with collards instead of Hoppin’ John. \u00a0I figured a little Cowboy Caviar couldn’t hurt to keep the good luck goin’ through the first week of the month. Now, if you’re from Texas, or you have family in Texas, I won’t be telling you anything you don’t already know, and\u00a0you’ll probably have had at least 20 different versions of Texas Caviar in your life.<\/p>\n

This<\/em> version is a slight variation of the Texas Caviar in the\u00a0Homesick Texan cookbook<\/a>, and it is beyond adaptable. No yellow pepper, but you’ve got a red? Forgot a cucumber (like me), but you’ve got celery, go ahead. Want corn? Great. \u00a0You used the last lime for your vodka tonic? Ok, some recipes use red wine vinegar. \u00a0Whatever your spin on it, this chunky, spicy salad will do well in your lunchbox or alongside the chips and guac for this weekend\u2019s Washington showdown \u2013 Redskins versus Seahawks (or whichever game you’ll be watching).<\/p>\n
