Recipe: Texas Caviar


This is my favorite party recipe. It's also incredibly handy to make a big batch when the power may go out as its very forgiving and delicious at room temperature (hello, Irene). Plus, the dressing...I use it ALL THE TIME on my salads its so good (oh, and easy!). This salad is also AWESOME to make a big batch of and take for healthy and easy “work lunches” during the week. You can't go wrong!
