Texas recipes...Cowboy Caviar

From time to time, I post a new recipe that I enjoy or that catches my eye. Although I've not tried this one yet, I know I'm going to love it because I love it's cousin, "Texas Caviar" or a variation of the recipe "Hopping John" that is so popular in the other parts of the United States.

But this one encompasses everything I love about Texas and southwestern cooking. Corn, onions, black beans, tomatoes, cilantro and onions...mmm, mmm, mmm.

I hope you enjoy this recipe, like I know I'm going to.
