Texas Caviar

Dips and Spreads Raw Food Recipes Salads Vegan Vegetarian Whole Plant-Based
This is a new one for me. I have never heard anyone call “salsa” by any other name. I have lived in Texas for 45 years! Texas Caviar – never heard of it.
So I did my best. The only think different about this salsa is that I didn’t chop/puree the tomatoes in my food processor. Actually, I feel that this version is more like a salad. 
Here are the ingredients I used. Feel free to use the proportions that you like best.
Ingredients:
  • Red Onion
  • Green Onions
  • Bell Peppers
  • Cherry Tomatoes
  • Fresh Corn (roasted on stove top, a nice addition)
  • Cilantro
  • Black Beans (cooked, leave out for a total raw meal)
  • Lime Juice
  • Apple Cider Vinegar (just a splash will do)
  • Jalapeno (or Cayenne Pepper)
  • Salt/Pepper to Taste
Directions:
  1. Chop fresh vegetables and toss together with remaining ingredients in a bowl.
  2. Allow to sit at room temperature about 30 minutes for flavors to combine.
  3. Eat with tortilla chips or use to top a fresh “Tex-Mex” salad.
