Black-Eyed Peas for New Years?

So I never was a huge fan of Mom's "black-eyed peas on New Years for good luck!" But here's a recipe that after only a sample tasting became a hit with me! You've got to give it a try!

Bean Salsa

2 cans black beans (drained & washed)
2 cans shoe peg canned corn (drained)
1 can black-eyed peas (drained & washed)
2-3 avacados, chopped or diced
6-7 roma tomatoes, chopped
2 bunches green onions, chopped
1 bunch cilantro, chopped
2 pkgs (dry) Zesty Italian dressing (Good Seasoning brand) - Mix it as directed, but use only half the amount of oil.

Toss together and enjoy with tortilla chips - it's a light meal all by itself!

  2. This was delicious at Jenna and Peter's! I made it today to take to my Dad's family dinner potluck and it was a huge hit. Anthony went to put up the leftovers and evidently thought better of it, because now he's sitting in the rocker with the large bowl and a bag of nachos just shovelling it in. I can't eat fresh tomatoes (I've honestly tried), but I love this salsa! I just eat around the tomatoes. LOL Thanks Erin! <3
