Texas Caviar, done up my way, Mississippi style. Sort of a take on a bean salad really, it's simply a mixture of your favorite canned beans, usually the addition of corn, and a variety of chopped raw vegetables, all tossed in a vinaigrette.
Texas Caviar Salsa - Mississippi Style
There are loads of "caviar" recipes out there, most of them simply called Texas Caviar, though quite a few recipes hail from Mississippi too. Even though I can claim roots in both territories, I'm staying out of that debate.
According to Co-pilot AI, this salsa is credited to Helen Corbin, of the original Million Dollar Dip fame, and is really a sort of a take on a bean salad really - simply a mixture of canned beans, often corn, and a variety of chopped raw vegetables, all tossed in some kind of vinaigrette. Ms. Corbin originally called the one she developed "Pickled Black-Eyed Peas" and first served it on New Year's Eve at the Houston Country Club after moving there from New York. Later, she dubbed it “Texas Caviar to contrast its modest ingredients with the extravagance of traditional caviar."
