Pickled Blackeyed Peas

[ArnieM]

"1/3 cup, + or -, zesty Italian dressing *

* olive oil and red wine vinegar can be substituted here."

I didn't think they put vinegar in the zesty italian. I ran out, I'll have to buy some more and check that one out. I love that stuff anyhow. Soak my venison steaks in it.

Speaking of Caviar ... take a listen.

Cowboy Caviar
15 1/2 oz can of pinto or black beans, drained and rinsed
11 oz can of whole kernel corn, drained
2 medium tomatoes, seeded and diced
3 green onions stalks, minced
1 large (or 2 small) avocados , diced
1 cup of fresh cilantro, chopped
1/2 cup of prepared salsa
3/4 ts of salt
1/2 ts of pepper
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl.
Gently toss to combine.
Chill for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Serve with chips for dipping or anyway you like it.
Is great on a Salad. (maybe with some small chucks of smoked meat)

Jan made CRG's pickled blackeyed peas on Sunday.  We left them in the frig until yesterday.  Dang, those are good when piled on a tortilla chip.  Did put some chopped jalapenos in to add a little zip.

Thanks for the recipe Sonny.

My #2 daughter makes a bean salad similar to the Texas cavier.  She uses 3-4 types of beans; small white, black, pinto, black-eyed peas, whatever.  Yep, a lot of cilantro and also a bunch of diced garlic and some chopped celery.  No salsa.  Dressing is usually something like dry Italian mixed up along with fresh squeezed lime. 

Beans are good for you - I think  :D
