COWBOY CAVIAR

COWBOY CAVIAR

Versatility again.  Good as a side.  Also with corn chips (like the new Fritos "scoops") or crackers.

3 (15-ounce) cans black-eyed peas, rinsed, drained
1 large Vidalia onion, cut in small dice
2 red bell peppers, cut in small dice
4 ribs celery, cut in small dice
2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped

Toss all ingredients with Cilantro Lime Vinaigrette (below) and chill overnight. Serve cold or at room temperature.

Cilantro Lime Vinaigrette

1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
1/2 cup canola oil
2 tablespoons honey
2 jalapenos, seeded, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup loosely packed cilantro
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper

Place all ingredients in a blender and puree until emulsified.
