A wonderful New Years Day tradition is to eat black eyed peas to bring luck and prosperity in the new year. Well, I do eat them every year, though they are not my favorite tasting bean, so I love this Texas Caviar made with them that kind of masks the flavor. In other good news, this dip is gluten free, dairy free, soy free,etc. so it’s great to take to a party to enjoy with others.
Ingredients:
1 or 2 cans of Blackeyed Peas
1 can whole kernel corn
1 can black beans
1 pint cherry tomatoes
1 small red onion
1 fresh jalapeno
1 bunch of fresh cilantro
1 or 2 fresh limes
Wishbone Italian Dressing
Garlic Powder to taste
Salt to taste
Bag of chips
In a large Pyrex bowl, combine all the beans, peas, and corn
Wash the fresh veggies…
Next chop up the cherry tomatoes…I cut them in 1/8 pieces, but you can do them bigger if you want.
Next I chop the cilantro and onion and add them to the mix…isn’t this looking pretty with all the colors?!
Chop the jalapeno, and de-seed it
Chop it into small pieces and add it to the mixture
Cut the lime in half and use a juicer to get the contents into the bowl
Mix everything together
Add about half the container of Wishbone Italian Dressing
Add salt and garlic powder to taste
Mix again
Voila! Serve with your favorite chips
