Caviar from the Garden

In some areas, black-eyed beans (or "cowpeas") and jalapenos are easy to find fresh at the farmers' market this time of year. If you're a gardener, chances are good that you're starting to see tomatoes appear on your own vines. If you're a lover of cilantro, no doubt your window box has a crop just waiting for the harvest. Toss in some aromatics and some spices and you've got a filling, travel-hearty dish that can be enjoyed as a salad in its own right or as a dip with whole-grain tortilla chips.
