Ingredients  

  • 1 15 oz can black eyed peas
  • 1 15 oz can black beans
  • 1 15 oz bag corn (frozen)
  • ½ medium white onion (diced)
  • 3 medium tomatoes (diced - you can use canned tomatoes to make the dip last longer)
  • 1 cup cilantro (chopped)
  • 1 medium jalapeno (diced - optional)
  • 1 medium avocado (cubed - leave out to make the dip last longer)
  • 1 medium bell pepper (diced)

Dressing: (You can use Italian dressing in the place of this dressing.)

  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp lime juice
  • 2 Tbsp white vinegar
  • 1 dash salt

Instructions: 

  • Chop the fresh vegetables into appropriate sizes.
  • Combine all the vegetables in a large bowl.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the dressing ingredients and pour over the other ingredients.
  • Stir to combine then cover and put in the fridge until time to serve. This is best if it can sit for a couple hours.

Notes:

Make Ahead: This is a great dish to prepare ahead of time because it's best if it sets for a couple hours at least so the flavors can blend.
*For an easier option, you can use Italian dressing in place of this dressing. Adjust this dressing recipe to taste.
