This dish is really different and really good. It's quick and easy to prepare and one that is sure to become a favorite. Degree of spice can be adjusted based on your personal preference. A great alternative to ham and beans or pea salad! Serve with warm, crusty bread and a tomato salad. Use fresh or frozen corn. Ingredients:
2 cups fresh corn kernels |
2 (15 ounce) cans black-eyed peas, rinsed and drained |
1 cup cubed fully cooked ham |
3 stalks celery, finely chopped |
2 tablespoons chopped red onion |
2/3 cup sour cream |
1 tablespoon ketchup |
1 tablespoon dried cilantro |
1 teaspoon cajun seasoning |
2 dashes hot pepper sauce (such as tabasco®), or to taste |
Directions:
1. Place the corn into a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the corn is fully cooked, about 2 minutes. Drain the corn in a colander set in the sink.
2. Mix together the warm corn, black-eyed peas, ham, celery, and onion in a salad bowl.
3. Whisk together the sour cream, ketchup, cilantro, Cajun seasoning, and hot pepper sauce in a bowl until smooth. Stir the dressing lightly into the black-eyed pea mixture until thoroughly mixed. Serve immediately.
