Instructions
- Combine bell peppers, tomato, onion, jalapenos, garlic, black beans, black eyed peas, corn and cilantro in a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
- Whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, lime juice, Kosher salt, hot sauce and sugar. Pour over chopped vegetables, tossing to coat.
- Cover and chill for 1-2 hours, or up to overnight.
- Before serving, drain out most of the marinade by tipping the bowl with the lid securely in place. You don't want to lose it all or pour it through a colander. I use the lid of the bowl to help me strain.
- Serve with tortilla chips.
