27700 Spicy Southwestern Black Bean Salsa 45 mins, plus marinating time 35 mins 5 cups (8 to 10 servings) Tue Sep 01 11:11:07 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 01 11:11:07 -0700 2009 Easy Southwestern Hack http://www.chow.com/recipes/27700 Tue, 01 Sep 2009 18:11:07 GMT With as many variations as salsa, Texas Caviar is a classic dip in the Lone Star State. To some, it’s not complete without a good dousing of bottled Italian dressing, but we forgo that and let the pickled jalapeños, roasted corn, and fresh dressing do the talking. Leftovers can be used to jazz up scrambled eggs or broiled fish.

Game plan: The dip can be made up to 2 days in advance and refrigerated in a covered container.
