Recipe: Texas Caviar
Helen Corbitt, famed 1950s Neiman Marcus food director, first served what became known as Texas caviar as it spread to party tables across the South. A blend of black-eyed peas, white hominy, peppers, and tomatoes makes a delicious dip for tortilla chips. Green tomatoes and cilantro brighten the dish.
