Blackeye Pea Salad


My mom shared this recipe with me a few weeks ago and tonite we tried it.
If I was not so tired I would have ate more of it.

Blackeye Pea Salad

2 cans (15.8 oz) Bush's blackeye peas, drained
3 Roma tomatoes, chopped
1 cup red onion, chopped
1 cup green bell pepper, chopped
1/2 cup green onions, chopped
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
2 jalepenos, seeded & chopped (optional) 
Salt & Pepper to taste

Dressing

1 (0.7 oz.) envelope Good Seasons Italian dressing mix
1/4 cup vinegar
3 tbls. water
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup sour cream

Combine all ingredients in a jar with a lid, shake until completely mixed.
Pour over Blackeye Pea Salad.

I was unable to find the Bush's peas so I used a store brand.
I skipped the jalepenos because my wife has problems with hot foods.
This would work as a dip also :)
