I made this for a church function last night. It turned out so good. Good enough to eat like a salad, but excellent with chips. Tostitos Hint of Lime chips are the bomb with it.
Black Eyed Salsa
3 cans Black Eyed Peas, rinsed and drained
1 can shoepeg corn, drained (white sweet corn)
tomato, chopped (2 or 3)
green onions, chopped (like 3)
avocado (I used two huge ones)
fresh garlic, peeled and sliced
lime
kosher salt
Firmly rub the sliced side of your fresh garlic on the sides of a large mixing bowl, coating it with garlicy goodness. In same bowl, combine black eyed peas, shoepeg corn, tomato, green onions, and *avocado chunks. Season with fresh squeezed lime juice and kosher salt.
* This makes a ton, so I split the batch, and added the avocado, lime and salt to the half we used that night. I reserved the rest in the fridge, and added those three ingredients when we were ready to eat it. Next time I think I'll add some cilantro. YUM.

gotta have the cilantro! This looks amazingly yummy. Thanks for sharing :-)
i want some!...pops
We loved this! Thanks Melinda.
Melinda, I made this the other night for our dinner group and it was a total hit. I really loved it with the Tostitos Hint of Lime Tortilla Chips too. We served it with ribeye steaks and a fruit salad. Couldn't ask for a better summer meal in the backyard. Lawrence couldn't say enough about it.
I get serious cravings for this! I see black eyed peas in my storage and long for avocados every time so I can make it!!
