this is a staple. I bring it to potlucks all the time! We just love it! Great with tortilla chips, especially "scoops". It makes lots...but is easily doubled for big parties!! I got this from a friend of mine Nan when we were catering a party and have been making it for 10 years! yummy!!!
Ingredients
2 cans (regular size) black-eyed peas (rinsed and drained) or 4 cups cooked black-eyed peas
4-5 roma tomatoes, deseeded and diced
1/2 - 1 jalapeno, deseeded and diced (amount on your spicy scale - feel free to add another)
garlic salt to taste
small bottle Italian dressing (about 2 cups)
2-3 small avocados, diced
1 red onion or sweet yellow onion, diced (more or less depending on size)
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
- Combine first 5 ingredients. Allow flavors to blend a couple hours or overnight. If this is not possible, that is fine, but it has better flavor this way.
- Add final 3 ingredients, stir and serve!
