What is your idea of Authentic Texas Caviar?

There are many ways to do it and I have mine.
This year it will be.
Black eyed peas.
Fresh chopped orange and red sweet peppers little ones not bells.
Two fermented Fresno peppers.
Fresh chopped garlic.
Fresh chopped garlic leaves.
Fresh ground black pepper.
Salt.
Chopped red onion.
Lime juice.
Extra Virgin olive oil.
Dill seeds.
A dollop of mayonnaise.
Chopped green olives.
I dash of sugar to offset the sour taste of the lime.

Mix all of the ingredients up before hand and start cooking the black eyed peas.
When the peas are just done and not mushy remove from heat and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking.
When peas are cold fold into the premixed ingredients.
Let refrigerate over night mix one more time and enjoy.
A picture will be presented of this mess when the peas are done.
