Ingredients
- 30 oz. black-eyed peas two 15 oz. cans, canned
- 15 oz. black beans canned
- 1 cup corn either canned, cooked fresh, or thawed frozen corn, sweet, cooked
- 1 bell pepper (I use 1/2 green, 1/2 red)
- 1/2 red onion small
- tomato optional additions, fresh where noted
- green onion
- parsley
- cilantro
- avocado
- jalapeño
For the lemon-vinegar dressing:
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar or less
- 1 1/2 Tbsp. lemon juice about 1/2 lemon, or more to taste, fresh
- 1-2 cloves garlic minced
- 3/4 tsp. oregano dried
- 1/4 tsp. salt
Instructions
- Make the dressing: in small bowl, whisk together all dressing ingredients.
- Rinse and drain beans. Dice bell pepper and finely dice onion.
- In a large bowl, add beans, bell pepper, onion, and corn. Add dressing and toss well to combine. Add more salt or lemon juice if desired.
- Can serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for at least two hours. (It tastes best after flavors blend.) Re-stir before serving as some dressing will settle on the bottom.
Notes
- *Vinegar: Or substitute apple cider vinegar or rice vinegar.
- Onions: Substitute green onions for the red onions for milder flavor.
- Make ahead: This is a great dish to prepare in advance as the flavors enhance as it chills.
- Recipe adapted from Whole Foods.
