Instructions
Prepare the black eyed peas by rinsing and draining them if using canned, or cooking them if using dry beans. Let them cool before adding to the salsa.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the black eyed peas, diced Roma tomatoes, corn, diced red bell pepper, diced green bell pepper, and finely diced red onion.
Add the minced jalapeño and chopped fresh cilantro to the bowl for extra flavor.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, fresh lime juice, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to make a dressing.
Pour the dressing over the black eyed pea mixture and gently toss until well combined.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed by adding more salt, lime juice, or cumin.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salsa for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled with tortilla chips, or as a topping for tacos, grilled chicken, or salads.
