Instructions

  1. Place the beans, black eyed peas, tomatoes, jalapeno, corn, avocado, bell pepper, onion and cilantro in a large bowl. 
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, honey, chili powder, cumin and salt and pepper.
  3. Pour the dressing over the bean mixture and toss gently to coat. Serve as a salad or with chips.

Notes

  • Make ahead instructions: Assemble according to instructions, except omit the avocado. Refrigerate for up to 8 hours. Add the avocado right before serving.
  • I recommend Roma tomatoes in this dish, as they have less seeds and a firmer texture. Halved cherry tomatoes are also great for a heartier texture.
  • Not a fan of cilantro? Use sliced green onions instead.
  • I typically use frozen thawed corn kernels, but you could use canned corn or even fresh corn off the cob.
