Ingredients

15 oz can black-eyed peas rinsed and drained
15 oz can black beans rinsed and drained
7 oz can white shoepeg corn drained
10 oz can Ro-tel tomatoes original or hot
8 oz Good Seasons Italian dressing mix prepared in a jar or cruet according to packet directions, using half cider vinegar and half white wine vinegar. I use olive or avocado oil to a healthy fat source.
1 fresh jalapeño diced
¼ cup red onion finely chopped (or to taste)
1 green bell pepper finely chopped
1 ½ cups celery finely diced
1 cup salad cucumber peeled, seeded, and finely diced
1 clove fresh garlic finely minced
Fresh oregano cilantro, basil and parsley to taste-finely chopped
Sea salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl and stir to combine.
If you want more juice, just add another can of Ro-tel.
Enjoy with your favorite tortilla chips.

Notes

Use good, fresh ingredients. Every fresh vegetable should have a crunch.
Take your time finely chopping the veggies, so everything is the same size.
Drain the canned beans and corn well. You don't want the canning liquid in your caviar.
With one can of Rotel, the consistency is similar to pico de gallo. Add another can of Rotel for a juicy, chunky salsa-like dip.
