This is very very good! I first saw Texas Caviar in the deli section at my supermarket where it was marketed as a spicy bean salad. I've always wanted to make some at home! This recipe really hit the spot - it's cool and nicely spicey (I was afraid it would be scorching hot with the jalapeno and the red pepper but it's not) and has a really good bean salsa flavor. I served it with tortilla chips like a dip and it was yummy! I added chopped tomatoes and it was a nice addition. I used fat-free Italian dressing (storebought) so it was healthy too! Thanks, Miss Annie!

Wonderful blend of flavors, so different as an appy but so impressive for something so easy. I did make a few minor changes, cut the recipe in half and added cilantro. Exactly the flavors I enjoy when I think of Texas, everyone is already asking me to repeat this, I really should have made the whole recipe

This made a very tasty dip! I subbed a serrano for the jalapeno and added a little extra cayenne pepper. I normally serve dips like this with tortilla chips, but since my husband is a Fritos hound, I decided to serve it with Fritos Scoops--the dip was perfect with them. :) Thanks for posting the recipe, Miss Annie!
