My girl makes an amazing version of this, originally based off of several "poor man's caviar" recipes, it has become her own thing, and every single time we make it many people ask for the recipe so I figured this would be my contribution.
- 1 red onion - diced
- 3 bell peppers diced - always a green and a red, and either a yellow or orange
- 1 can of shoepeg corn
- 1 can of black eyed peas
- 1 can of black beans
- 1 can of rotel original
- a big spoonful of diced pickled jalapenos to taste
- salt, ground black pepper and garlic powder to taste
- slightly less than of a bottle of italian dressing, but you can use the whole bottle, we use wishbone brand, regular italian dressing
Drain beans, black eyed peas and corn and rinse in a colander,
Drain the rotel
Mix everything a large party bowl
Serve with tortilla scoop chips
It will keep for days, and we actually like to warm it up if it's been in the fridge. Give this a try at your next cook out and I promise it will be a hit.
Added bonus, after the party, use this in your eggs the next morning. Seriously, this kills every time, and it's so good in scrambled eggs!
