Description

I adapted this recipe from one in a cookbook I received a long time ago, and now, I cant imagine a get-together at my house without this quick and healthy appetizer. —Becky Oliver, Fairplay, Colorado

I love this easy recipe, it is a great item to make and take to gatherings. My dish is always empty when I take it home.

Excellent! I leave out the avocado just because I don't like avocado...otherwise this recipe is quick and easy to make and its delicious! I have served it at a couple of different gatherings and always get compliments.

Love this recipe! And everyone who tries it loves it, too. And its pretty healthy I think. Maybe not the chips though.

Ingredients

  • 2 cans (15-1/2 ounces each) black-eyed peas, rinsed and drained
  • 1 can (10 ounces) diced tomatoes and green chilies, drained
  • 1 medium green pepper, finely chopped
  • 1 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup fat-free Italian salad dressing
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 medium ripe avocado, peeled and cubed
  • Tortilla chips

Directions

  • Directions In a large bowl, combine the peas, tomatoes, green pepper and onion. In a small bowl, whisk the dressing, lime juice, salt and pepper. Pour over black-eyed pea mixture and stir to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Stir in avocado just before serving. Serve with chips. Yield: 5 cups.
