Texas Caviar Recipe
I know this won't be new to some folks but I had never heard of it much less tried it. I made it last night and it was so yummy and easy to do. I had to share.

•4 cups of cooked black-eyed peas (2 15-ounce cans, rinsed and drained)
•8 green onions, just the green parts thinly sliced
•1/2 cup chopped cilantro
