Up your snack game with this quick and colorful recipe for Texas caviar that can be a dip, salad topping, taco filling and more. My family has always gone for the rainbow version, sneaking in veggies of every color to round out the bowl. Jalapeno provides a kick, but you can remove the seeds or omit it altogether for less heat.

Texas has some great steak houses. One of the most colorful in the state is Big Texan Steak Ranch in Amarillo. If you can completely eat a 72 oz. steak, along with a baked potato and shrimp cocktail, you get it free. Their recipe for Texas Caviar is also very good. Try making it sometime.

Depending on where you're from, this simple dip is known as cowboy caviar or Texas caviar, and it's a favorite at tailgates and potlucks all over the South. Its creator, Helen Corbitt, a dietitian from New York, had never heard of black-eyed peas when she moved to Texas in 1931. The exact details are fuzzy, but at some point in her 40 years working in restaurants there, she combined black-eyed peas with a simple vinaigrette, and it was a big hit. The recipe has evolved over the years, and you can find a number of variations online. Some contain corn and black beans (as this one does), and others avocado. Some call for bottled Italian salad dressing, others homemade. No matter how you tweak it, it's always good with a pile of tortilla chips.

Here's a spicy Texas favorite. Black-eyed peas and black beans are marinated in a fiery, flavorful mixture. This is great with tortilla chips or bread -- and plenty of cold iced tea!

This is a yummy Texas caviar made with black beans and pinto beans instead of black-eyed peas. Serve with scoop-style tortilla chips as a great party appetizer.
