This black eyed pea dip is a crowd pleaser and the perfect summer dip! What I love most about this dip is that it’s so easy to throw together and has great taste. There are so many variations to this recipe and I change it up every single time. And every single time, it’s just as delicious!
Ingredients
Black eyed peas
Yellow Pepper
Orange Pepper
Red Repper
Jalapeño
Corn
Green Onion
Cilantro
Zesty Italian Dressing
Cayenne
Chili Powder
Garlic Powder
Salt
Instructions
In a colander rinse 2 cans of black eyed peas. In the same colander rinse a can of sweet corn. Drain and place in a large mixing bowl.
Next start dicing (and remove the seeds) of 1 yellow pepper, 1 red pepper, 1 orange pepper and 1 jalapeño. Once diced, add to your large bowl. Then dice up 2-3 green onions and add to the bowl.
After that, cut up some cilantro and add to your bowl (I use around 1/2 cup).
You can now begin adding the dressing to the rest of your ingredients. For the dressing, use Zesty Italian dressing (I use about 3/4 of the bottle or you can use the full bottle so your dip has a good consistency.)
Next, I get a little lazy and don’t measure my spices, but add a shake of cayenne pepper, a couple shakes of chili powder, a few shakes of garlic powder and add a little salt.
Stir everything together until it’s mixed well then refrigerate up to an hour so the dip will set up. Enjoy with your favorite tortilla chips!
Variation: Use 1 can of black eyed peas and 1 can of black beans instead of 2 cans of black eyed peas.
Variation: Add diced avocado to this dish. But if you do, make sure and add lime juice.
Variation: Instead of the green onion use a 1/2 cup of purple onion.
Variation: When my mom makes this dish she adds a can of rotel tomatoes and a 4 ounce jar of drained pimentos.
Variation: Instead of using the Zesty Italian dressing you can also use a 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/3 cup white wine vinegar and around a 1/4 cup of sugar.
This colorful dip looks great in the Pioneer Woman dip dishes!
