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."

This was such a good dish! Not only is it low in fat and sugar but has fiber. DH and I had it cold. We still have some left over, and planning to try it hot. I didn't have any green chilies on hand so I doubled the jalapeno's. Glad I did, gave it a nice bite. It's easy to prepare and also looks great plated. This is a keeper. Thanks DeAnna Owens for posting.

I live in Orlando, FL with my husband, Jeff. We've been married 11 yrs+, we have no kids but we did just get a Puggle puppy (pug & beagle mix). We're both in the IT field, so we work quite a bit. I don't have a lot of time to cook during the week, so most of my cooking is done on the weekend. I like to cook 2 or 3 dishes and then store everything in serving size containers, part in the fridge, part in the freezer.
