Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium tomatoes seeded and diced
  • 1 bunch green onion sliced
  • ⅔ cup cilantro chopped
  • 11 oz can shoepeg corn drained (Recommended: Green Giant Steam Crisp White Shoepeg Corn)
  • 15 oz can black eyed peas drained (Recommended: Allens Black Eyed Peas)
  • 2 avocados diced

Dressing

  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil good quality
  • ¼ cup red wine vinegar
  • 1 - 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon table salt
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • pinch sugar

Instructions
 

  • Combine all veggies, except for avocado, in a large serving bowl. (You can assemble all the veggies except for tomatoes and avocados in advance. Tomatoes get watery and mushy if you refrigerate, so leave for last.)
  • Whisk dressing ingredients together. (This can be done in advance and refrigerated.) Start with half, adding more to your taste.
  • Dice and add avocado just before serving. Taste for seasoning before serving and add more salt and pepper, and dressing, if necessary. If it needs more brightness/acidity add a little more vinegar.

Notes

Serve with tortilla chips.
Best eaten on the day you make it.
