How to Make Texas Caviar with Avocado
1. Combine the Main Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the black-eyed peas, chopped tomatoes, sweet onion, and jalapeño peppers. Mix thoroughly to distribute the flavors evenly.
2. Add the Dressing and Seasoning
Pour the Italian dressing over the mixture. Add a dash of cayenne pepper, adjusting to your preferred spice level. Stir gently to coat the ingredients with the dressing.
3. Incorporate the Avocado
