BLACK-EYED PEA SALSA / RELISH



Black-Eyed Pea Salsa / Relish image

Call it a relish....call it a dip....call it a salsa...or call it a side dish...I call it delicious! A friend of mine got this recipe from "The Pioneer Woman cooks" website, but I've changed a few things and added some of my own stuff. Even if you don't like Black-Eyed Peas, you'll like this! Even my little girl gobbles it up when I make it.

Categories     Beans

Time 30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/3 cup olive oil
1/3 cup white vinegar
1 teaspoon brown mustard
2 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon celery seed
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper (fresh is best)
4 stalks celery, finely chopped (leaves and bottom cut off)
3 green onions, sliced
1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 cucumber, peeled, seeded, and chopped
1 jalapeno (optional)
cilantro, chopped (to taste)
2 (12 ounce) cans black-eyed peas, drained and rinsed
8 ounces canned white corn, drained and rinsed

Steps:

  • 1. In a large bowl (because this makes a lot!), combine oil, vinegar, mustard, sugar, celery seed, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  • 2. Add celery, green onions, bell pepper, cucumber, jalapeno, and cilantro. Mix into dressing until well covered.
  • 3. Add the corn and peas (make sure the cans are drained and rinsed). Mix well.
  • 4. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour, but it tastes better if you let it sit a little longer.
  • I will use this as a topping for grilled chicken, or you can eat it like a dip (by serving it with corn-chips). I've even added twisty pasta to it and made it into a pasta salad. Enjoy!
