Ingredients:

1 can black-eyed peas, rinsed and drained (or cook 15 oz. dried black-eyed peas until tender)
1 package cherry tomatoes
1 ripe avocado peeled and diced
1/2 red onion diced
1/2 red pepper diced
1 tbsp. fresh cilantro minced
1/3 c prepared homemade Italian dressing (I like to use Good Seasons)
1 juice from one fresh lime
1 jalapeno pepper seeded and chopped

Directions:

Mix black-eyed peas, cherry tomatoes, avocado, red onion, red pepper, fresh cilantro, and jalapeno pepper in a medium-sized bowl. Squeeze the lime over the salad and add the homemade Italian dressing, mix well. Great as a light lunch or as a side salad with your dinner.
