Texas Caviar

recipe from Home Run Recipes

2 cans black eyed peas
1 can shoe peg corn

Rinse and put in a bowl.

Add 1 can Rotel tomatoes

Chop and add the following:
1 green pepper
1 bunch green onions
3 jalapeno peppers (make sure you get all the seeds out...they are the spiciest part)
½ bunch cilantro
3 avocadoes (I add at the last minute)

Mix everything together with 8 oz Zesty Italian Dressing. Serve with Frito Scoops.

We use our chopper to prepare all the produce, but you could also use a food processor, or just a knife works too.
