Black Eyed Pea Salsa

Image
This is a recipe I got from my friend Erin - I LOVE it! And, my kids love it, which is even better :) It's super simple, pretty healthy, and delicious. Here's the recipe: 1 can mild Rotel diced tomatoes with green chiles - drained 1 can shoe peg corn - drained and rinsed 1 can black eyed peas - drained and rinsed 1/4 cup fresh chopped cilantro 1/4 cup chopped red onion (use more or less to taste) 1/4 extra virgin olive oil 1/4 cup white wine vinegar *1 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar 1 packet zesty Italian dressing mix Put first five ingredients in a glass bowl Mix the last 4 ingredients in a measuring cup and pour over veggies. Stir and let it sit in the fridge for a couple of hours while the onions mellow. Enjoy with your favorite tortilla chip! *You can omit the balsamic if you want less of a vinegar taste. Liam and Leighton devour this salsa...and Liam loves to make it with me... I decided what to do with my Xbox 360 with Kinect... I am donating it to the Ronald McDonal...
