Texas Caviar

Texas caviar is one of those easy appetizers that goes over well no matter the occasion. Plus, it's healthy! We all like black-eyed peas, but black beans are our favorite. Years ago I substituted one of the cans of black eyed peas with the black beans and everyone liked it better. Andy will just about get out a spoon and eat it out of the bowl. I prefer dipping these with the big corn chips or scoopable tortilla chips.
