COWBOY CAVIAR PASTA SALAD
The popular, Texas-inspired cowboy caviar can take the form of dip, garnish, side dish and more, but in this recipe, it becomes a complete meal, and one that's much better than anything you'd find in the grocer's deli case. Packed with vegetables, beans and pasta, and dressed in a light and tangy dressing, it's flavorful, fresh and hearty enough to feed the whole family. And it comes in at a great price, since it can be made with leftover rotisserie chicken and seasonal vegetables-although frozen and canned work well, too! In the summertime, this cold salad is perfect dinner on a sticky night and a guaranteed potluck hit. Even better, it's easily made ahead. So next time you're in the kitchen, why not put on a pot of water to boil. With a few minutes of chopping, you can rustle up tonight's-or tomorrow's-dinner!

COWBOY CAVIAR
Depending on where you're from, this simple dip is known as cowboy caviar or Texas caviar, and it's a favorite at tailgates and potlucks all over the South. Its creator, Helen Corbitt, a dietitian from New York, had never heard of black-eyed peas when she moved to Texas in 1931. The exact details are fuzzy, but at some point in her 40 years working in restaurants there, she combined black-eyed peas with a simple vinaigrette, and it was a big hit. The recipe has evolved over the years, and you can find a number of variations online. Some contain corn and black beans (as this one does), and others avocado. Some call for bottled Italian salad dressing, others homemade. No matter how you tweak it, it's always good with a pile of tortilla chips.

COWBOY CAVIAR
Black beans absorb other flavors superbly, so try to leave this for at least 20 minutes before serving to allow the different flavors to blend together.

- Cook noodles according to package instructions. I don't care for al dente noodles so I always cook for the higher recommended cook time. Don't forget to salt your pasta water (about 1 teaspoon salt will do the trick). Drain the noodles and rinse in cold water.
- Add the cooked & rinsed noodles into a large mixing bowl. Add the other pasta salad ingredients and mix together in the mixing bowl.
- In a separate small bowl, combine the Italian salad dressing and seasonings. Stir together and pour over the pasta salad. Stir well to make sure all the noodles and goodies get mixed in together well.
- Eat right away OR refrigerate for 2-5 ours before serving. You can add the avocado in with the other salad mix-ins OR leave it off and add it in right before serving. Either way works fine. If you are making it the day before then I would advise waiting to add the avocado until serving time.
