For a milder flavor, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeños before mincing. Feel free to add other vegetables like corn, avocado, or additional bell peppers for added texture and flavor. If you don't have red wine vinegar, white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar can be substituted. This recipe is best when allowed to marinate for at least a few hours, allowing the flavors to fully develop.

Mar 19, 2025I've made this Texas Caviar several times now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I like to add a can of drained corn for extra sweetness and texture.
