Hot Dog Topping Recipe: Marinated Black-Eyed Pea Salad (a.k.a. Little Rock Caviar)
A staple at the chef's family get-togethers, this flavor-packed relish can marinate in the fridge for a couple of days before you deploy it for hot dogs. You'll have no problem using any leftovers as a dressing for green salads or a straight-up side dish.
