Cowboy Caviar starts with a spicy base of black-eyed peas, tomatoes, corn, and avocado. Scoop it up with tortilla chips for an appetizer, or add cabbage and it becomes a coleslaw.
This layered salad is made with green chile cornbread, pinto beans, peppers, corn, bacon bits, tomatoes, and cheese. It's then chilled for two hours to allow the flavors to blend.
