Ingredients:

  • 1 (15 oz) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15 oz) can black eyed peas, rinsed and drained
  • 1/3 cup red onion, diced
  • 2 Roma tomatoes, diced
  • 1 cup frozen sweet corn, thawed (can also use canned corn)
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 1 cup cilantro, chopped
  • 2 avocados, diced
  • Optional: 1 jalapeño, deseeded and minced

Dressing:

  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 3 TBSP white wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 TBSP sugar

Directions:

  1. In a bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients and set aside.
  2. Chop, mince, and dice vegetables.
  3. In a large serving bowl, combine the beans, black eyed peas, onion, tomatoes, corn, bell pepper, cilantro, and jalapeño if using.
  4. Pour dressing over the ingredients and mix well until everything is well coated. Add more salt or sugar to taste. Cover and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes so the flavors can marinate together. Add the avocado right before serving so it doesn’t turn brown.
