Helen Corbetts Food
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.

Steps:
- Make the dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk the olive oil, vinegar, garlic, sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper to combine.
- Add the tomatoes, red onion, black beans, black-eyed peas, corn, bell pepper, jalapeño and cilantro. Toss to combine and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours before serving.
- To serve, toss well and season to taste. Sprinkle with scallions and serve with tortilla chips.
BLUE CHEESE DRESSING (HELEN CORBITT ADAPTATION)
GREAT WITH WINGS! This is an adaptation of Helen Corbitt's Roquefort Dressing. Made with Blue Stilton, it is a flavorful blue cheese dressing. Not so mild as standard blue but not so overpowering as Roquefort. I always make it with the requested portion of Beau Monde, but then wish I had reduced it slightly so you may want to make it a scant 1/2 t. Also, to serve as a thick dip, you can reduce the half and half to 1/2 c.
