As well, try this Black Eyed Pea Salsa in tacos and wraps to amp up the flavor and nutrients. Do you know what else? I also like it added to elbow macaroni for a pasta salad!

Furthermore, this recipe is great for game day, picnics, and church socials.

What’s in a name? This is basically the same recipe that is referred to as Texas Caviar, Mississippi Caviar, Black Eyed Pea Dip, and Cowboy Caviar. I have found all the recipes generally use almost the same ingredients with only the spices varying slightly. As well, some recipes take a short-cut method to the sauce and use Zesty Italian Salad Dressing. Instead, I use a homemade, light vinegar based sauce.

This recipe is also very close to my Black Bean Salsa. If you wish, you can substitute black beans for the black eyed peas in this recipe. I have also used chick peas for the black eyed peas, you may try the same if you like chick peas.

I cut down on the sugar used in my recipe, the original used too much oil and sugar. I prefer the tang of the vinegar shining through.

      I’m told it would need to be pressure canned which would in turn make the peas mushy.

    I did not see black beans in the recipe list. They are mentioned in the preparation list to drain. Do we use one can?

      Oh Anne, I see what happened. This is the recipe for Black Eyed Pea Salsa. The salsa doesn’t have black beans. The Avocado Black Eyed Pea Salad does have black beans. That recipe is here> https://www.callmepmc.com/avocado-black-eyed-pea-salad/
