Name: Texas Caviar Recipe
Total time: 20 min
Yield: 8 servings
Ingredients: 2 (14-oz.) cans black-eyed peas, drained; 1 (15.5-oz.) can white hominy, drained; 2 medium tomatoes, chopped; 2 green tomatoes, chopped; 1 medium green bell pepper, chopped; 2 jalapeño peppers, chopped; 1/2 cup onion, chopped; 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped; 2 garlic cloves, minced; 1 (8-oz.) bottle Italian dressing; Tortilla chips, for serving

Helen Corbitt, famed 1950s Neiman Marcus food director, first served "pickled black-eyed peas" on New Year's Eve at the Houston Country Club. Marinated in garlic-and-onion vinaigrette, they were a huge hit and were later christened "Texas Caviar." As the recipe made its way across the South, bell peppers, corn, and other ingredients were added. The big surprise here? Green tomatoes bring a bright, almost citrusy notes to the mix.
