Texas Caviar

I made black-eyed pea dip (that doesn't EVEN sound good!!)...better known as Texas Caviar (better!)  It's the way I prefer my New Year's dose of black-eyed peas.

This recipe has been around for a while - mine is a combination of a few of them...I add drained Rotel tomatoes and a little cumin.  Of course, like most "dips" the longer it sits, the better it gets...it's always better the next day!

     A can of black-eyed peas and a can of black beans - drained....

    
     a can of whole kernel corn - drained....


     a can of Ro-tel tomatoes - partially drained....


    about half of a medium red onion - chopped to your preference

    
     one bunch of cilantro - chopped


     juice from a lime or two....


      one 8 oz bottle of Zesty Italian dressing....use it all!


      toss together....and let it sit in the fridge for 24 hours...yeah, right!  Well, as long as you can!  It just keeps getting better!


...it's good stuff!
