Ingredients
  

  • 1 can Black Eyed Peas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can Black Beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can Shoepeg Corn, drained and rinsed
  • 5 Roma Tomatoes, seeds removed and diced
  • 3 Avocados, diced, ripe but still firm
  • 4 Green Onions, sliced thin
  • ½ cup Zesty Italian Dressing
  • ½ bunch Cilantro, fresh, chopped finely
  • 2 Limes
  • Ground Black Pepper and Salt, to taste

Instructions
 

  • Drain and rinse the black eyed peas, black beans, and corn. This is very important because if you don't, the dip will look brown and be too liquidy.
  • Add to a large bowl.
  • Add the tomatoes & cilantro.
  • After dicing the avocado and adding to the bowl, squeeze the lemon juice over the avocado. This will keep the avocado from turning brown too quickly.
  • Add the italian dressing and salt & pepper and stir to coat all of the ingredients.
  • Chill in the refrigerator.
  • This is best served the same day as prepared.
  • Serve with tortilla chips.
