BLACKEYE PEA SALSA

There are lots of recipes out there for bean salsas. This one is made with the blackeye pea, which just happens to be the legume with the highest content of fiber.



Here's the ingredients you will need.
blackeye peas
diced tomatoes
diced tomates flavored with basil, garlic, oregano
white shoepeg corn
onion
garlic
italian dressing







Drain the peas and corn. Rinse well

















Add the two cans of tomatoes. I usually like the petite diced but I grabbed the wrong cans. Also if you have fresh tomatoes, they would work great in place of the can of plain ones.









I used one clove of garlic, use more if you like a stronger garlic taste. You can either dice it up or use a press.













Now chop up some onions. I had about 1/2 cup here. Add to your mixture.













Pour in about 3/4 cup Italian dressing.















Stir together and let it marinate together in the fridge for a couple hours before serving.











The scoop chips work great with this salsa but I like to use these black bean chips.
They have the same calorie count as the scoop chips but are packed with four times the fiber.












YUMMY!
