Ingredients

  • 14 oz black-eyed peas, drained
  • 15 oz white hominy, drained (alternatively corn can be used)
  • 1 green or red bell pepper finely chopped
  • 2 medium tomatoes chopped and seeded
  • 1 cup white or yellow onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1-2 fresh jalapenos seeded or not (I used 1 seeded jalapeno)
  • 1 cup favorite salsa
  • 1 teaspoon salt plus more to taste as needed

Instructions

  • Drain, chop, mince, seed and then combine everything in a large bowl. Serve with your favorite crackers or chips.
  • Cover and refrigerate overnight or several hours before serving. (I have to admit, though, this stuff is pretty great right after all ingredients are combined.)

Notes

Also great as a salad, potato, taco, or egg topping!
