Reminiscent of salsa but with a whole lot more "good stuff", Texas Caviar is a recipe which caught on in the south like wildfire. I serve mine with Scoop Corn Chips, but any tortilla chips will do. This is a super quick and easy side for the Fourth or any other family gathering!

You need: Two cans whole kernel corn, one large can petite diced tomatoes, two cans black eyed peas (I used the ones with jalapeno but if you can't find those regular ones are just fine!), bunch of fresh parsley, two green onions, Small bottle of Zesty Italian dressing (I have large bottle pictured but I made a double batch).

Drain each can well and dump into a large mixing bowl or dish pan. Chop half of the parsley (you want about 1/2 cup chopped) and both green onions, stir in. Pour the entire bottle of dressing over all. Stir well. YOU'RE DONE!
Refrigerate!

When I got to this step, my son said "Ma, why are you putting plants on the food?" My first thought was "well thats what Lucy would do!
