Texas Caviar

Texas Caviar is a lovely salad of sweetcorn, black eyed peas, bell peppers, garlic and jalapeno peppers. It’s then pickled in a vinaigrette dressing for a an amazing dish. Serve as dip or my favourite as one of the fillings in a tortilla. This simple dish takes minutes to prepare but can be made in advance as its best to marinate for 48 hours.
