BLACK EYED PEA SALSA
I first had this salsa at a house warming party served with tortilla chips. It was the first thing to go, everyone loved it. I found it's an excellent side to grilled pork tenderloin. I've served it cold and hot; I think it's good both ways but my husband did not like it as much hot. It's a very healthy dish and a great way to get your veggies in for the day. It's one of the recipes that I actually like black eyed peas in.

BLACK-EYED PEA SALSA / RELISH
Call it a relish....call it a dip....call it a salsa...or call it a side dish...I call it delicious!

Steps:
- 1. In a large bowl (because this makes a lot!), combine oil, vinegar, mustard, sugar, celery seed, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- 2. Add celery, green onions, bell pepper, cucumber, jalapeno, and cilantro. Mix into dressing until well covered.
- 3. Add the corn and peas (make sure the cans are drained and rinsed). Mix well.
- 4. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour, but it tastes better if you let it sit a little longer.
- I will use this as a topping for grilled chicken, or you can eat it like a dip (by serving it with corn-chips). I've even added twisty pasta to it and made it into a pasta salad. Enjoy!

Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your salsa. Look for ripe, flavorful tomatoes, crisp onions, and fresh cilantro.
- Don't overcook the black-eyed peas: Black-eyed peas should be cooked until they are tender but still retain a slight bite. Overcooking will make them mushy and bland.
- Use a variety of textures: The combination of textures in this salsa is what makes it so delicious. The black-eyed peas add a hearty bite, the tomatoes and onions add a juicy crunch, and the cilantro adds a fresh, herbaceous flavor.
- Season to taste: The amount of salt, pepper, and cumin you add to your salsa will depend on your personal preference. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
- Let the salsa rest before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. If you can, make the salsa a few hours or even a day ahead of time for the best flavor.
Conclusion:
This black-eyed pea salsa is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It's perfect as a dip for tortilla chips or vegetables, as a topping for tacos or burritos, or as a flavorful addition to your favorite Mexican dishes. With its unique blend of flavors and textures, this salsa is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
