Yellow-Eyed Pea Salsa

Yellow-Eyed Pea Salsa

I recently made a slow cooker full of yellow-eyed peas and had about two cups of peas left after dinner, so I threw together this salsa. I have to say it was healthy and fantastic - so much so that I ate it with a spoon! Who needs chips?

Ingredients:

  • 2 C cooked yellow-eyed peas
  • 1/4 - 1/2 C salsa or picante sauce
  • 1/4 C green bell pepper
  • 1/4 C white onion
  • 1 handful + cilantro, chopped
  • 1/4 t garlic salt
  • 1/4 t cumin
  • 1/4 t Italian seasoning
  • 2 T balsamic vinegar
  • generous pinch of ground red pepper
  • salt & pepper to taste

Preparation:

  1. Mix ingredients.
  2. Enjoy!

Notes:

This is my favorite kind of recipe - one that I just put together without a lot of work and measuring! So, the measurements above are all approximations. Adjust according to your own tastes.
