The recipe has evolved from one that Lucy (sister to Jimmy Buffett, who crooned " Margaritaville " onto the charts) discovered when a friend arrived at a party with black-eyed pea dip.

Guest guest Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 I think I will use black beans in it, also. I am not that fond of black eyed peas. sue Donnalilacflower wrote: > > > I thought Lucy Buffett gave it a strange name. L.A Caviar.

Guest guest Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 Thanks for sharing this recipe. Sounds delicious and very colorful. My Gulf Shores is a place I've been to several times, but haven't checked out this restaurant before. I make a similar recipe, but instead of adding a vinegar type dressing like in this recipe, I add Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing and some diced tomatoes to all of the ingredients that you mentioned below. Very good too. See Donna and I now have this in common too. We are both from L.A. ha ha ha ha.
