This recipe for Texas Caviar is quick, easy and loaded with all things healthy!

Texas CaviarHappy Monday morning friends! I hope you all enjoyed the holidays. I know I sure did!

Are you ready for 2016? Have you made any New Year’s resolutions? Make a beeline for the gym yet? Cut all the sweets out of your diet? Don’t forget friends, it’s all about balance. You can still have those delicious sweet treats as long as you add some healthy options to your diet, and today I’m going to help you out by sharing my delicious recipe for Texas Caviar.

Texas Caviar

Have you guys ever tried Texas Caviar? I could eat this stuff by the bowlful. It’s not only good for you, but tastes totally fresh and delicious. It’s also loaded with lots of beautifully colored veggies, and during the winter months when beautiful colors seem to disappear in my neck of the woods this dish brings a smile to my face.

Texas Caviar

Texas Caviar is actually considered a salad, but you can also enjoy it alongside some tortilla chips as a dip. Whatever floats your boat as we say at the BHK. It’s a mixture of black-eyed peas, corn, tomatoes, yellow and orange peppers, jalapenos for some heat and tossed with a light vinaigrette dressing with a touch of lime. It doesn’t get much healthier than this folks!

Texas Caviar

I’m not only excited to share the recipe with you today, but I also wanted to mention the gorgeous bowl it’s pictured in. When Tom and I were down in Charleston, South Carolina for Thanksgiving visiting our son Sean we had dinner at Husk Restaurant. I not only fell in love with the food at Husk, but I also fell in love with their gorgeous rustic tableware. It was designed by CBFB Tablescapes right in Charleston. Their pieces are just stunning! Next time you’re in Charleston, it’s definitely worth a visit!

I hope you all enjoy your week!

    Sounds fresh and delicious Mary Ann. The perfect start to the new year. And I love the bowl. I’m actually heading to Charleston in a couple weeks and will definitely check out CBFB while I’m there. It will be my first trip to Charleston…any restaurant musts for a newbie?

      Oh there is so much to see Cathy! You are going to love it! Husk is probably my favorite place for dinner. You need to pop into Caviar and Bananas for lunch or for a great breakfast treat. A new place called HoM has a fabulous lunch menu. A place called Glaze has unbelievable donuts that you won’t want to miss and of course the ultimate coconut layer cake from the Peninsula Grill over by the market is a must! King Street is shopping heaven! I wish I was going with you!

    My mother-in-law introduced me to texas caviar, and I love it!! It’s one of the few appetizer dips that doesn’t leave you feeling gross and regretful! Plus it has such great flavor. I’ve only had it with black beans, but I bet black eyed peas would be really good too!
    Nice pictures!

    Happy New Year, Mary Ann! We had a great holiday too, but I’m not making a mad dash to the gym quite yet! I’m loving this Texas Caviar and it certainly looks like a delicious salad (or dip on a chip to float my boat!) to start the year! I also LOVE Charleston and that bowl is gorgeous! Next time you’re headed south, stop by Charlotte and say hello!
