Becky Oliver of Fairplay, Colorado created this quick appetizer. Writes Becky, “I adapted this recipe from a cook book I received a long time ago, and now, I can't imagine a get-together at my house without it.”
Ingredients:
2 cans (15-1/2 ounces each) black-eyed peas, rinsed and drained
1 can (10 ounces) diced tomatoes and green chilies, drained
1 medium green pepper, finely chopped
1 small red onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup fat-free italian salad dressing
2 tablespoons lime juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 medium ripe avocado, peeled and cubed
tortilla chips
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the peas, tomatoes, green pepper and onion. In a small bowl, whisk the dressing, lime juice, salt and pepper. Pour over black-eyed pea mixture and stir to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
2. Stir in avocado just before serving. Serve with chips. Yield: 5 cups.
