Lately, I'm making this a lot to serve with blue corn tortilla chips or toasted pita chips -it's REALLY tasty. However, I've made it differently every time. So I'm giving you the basics with lots of options. Note: if you're looking for black-eye peas in the store, for some reason the cans are located with the canned vegetables instead of the beans....
Chop all incredients to about the size of a bean. Corn is in season so I microwave an ear wrapped in plastic wrap for about 1 1/2 minutes, then slice it from the cob.
4 cup black-eye peas (may use half pinto beans or black beans), rinsed and drained
1 cup chopped red onion (or use about 6 green onions, thinly sliced)
1 green or red pepper, chopped
1 ear of corn (or 1 cup frozen corn)
1 small jar of pimentos, chopped (optional)
2 stalked of celery, chopped
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
1 tsp black pepper
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning or 2 tsp cumin plus 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (to taste)
1/2 tsp sugar, to balance the flavors
1/2 txp salt if needed to balance the flavors
Mix all and refrigerate overnight to blend flavors.
