I always have a hard time with incorporating black eyed peas into our new year's day meals. Not this year! This salsa comes to me from my sister in law, and it's a real winner. It could also serve as a side dish or salad at a party but really shines on tortilla chips (what doesn't?). Anyway, I'm thrilled she shared the recipe with me.
Black Eyed Pea Salsa
Adapted from my Sister in Law, Keri
Ingredients
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
4 tbsp olive oil
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 cans black eyed peas, drained and rinsed
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 red onion, chopped
2 tomatoes, diced
1/2 cup fresh cilantro
1 4 oz can green chiles
1 jalapeno, seeded and chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 ear corn, boiled for 2-3 minutes and cut off the ear (or 1 cup frozen)
1 can black beans, drained, rinsed
2-3 green onions, diced.
Mix all ingredients together. Serve in day 2 if possible.
Wow! I thought this was fantastic! I used turkey bacon which left me virtually no grease to add to the salad. I let the bacon char a little on the pan and then added a splash of chicken stock to deglaze it. Then I dumped that in the salad. I personally love the spice combo and wouldn't change a thing.
