BLACK EYED PEA SALSA



Black Eyed Pea Salsa image

I first had this salsa at a house warming party served with tortilla chips. It was the first thing to go, everyone loved it. I found it's an excellent side to grilled pork tenderloin. I've served it cold and hot; I think it's good both ways but my husband did not like it as much hot. It's a very healthy dish and a great way to get your veggies in for the day. It's one of the recipes that I actually like black eyed peas in.
