Texas Black-Eyed Pea Caviar

This salad of black-eyed peas and crunchy vegetables tossed in a light vinaigrette is a traditional New Year's dish, but it's suited to other meals as well. Spicy, zesty and colorful, the black-eyed peas in the salad may resemble caviar to some wishful eaters. Enjoy as a main dish with warm cornbread or as a dip with pita chips, or serve as a side dish to complement pork chops or chicken.
