A friend of my dad gifted us with a beautiful bounty of tomatoes and turnips. So in a quest to eat them all and not let one single tomato go bad I decided to whip up this fabulous easy, delicious and nutritious dish. Even if your not a black eyed peas fan or not to fond of avocado’s (which I don’t believe you exists) you’ve gotta try this combination of flavors.
This would be great to take to a party because it doesn’t have to be refrigerated. Also tastes great as a dip with tortilla chips.
Ingredients: 3 Large Avocado’s, 4 Large tomatoes, 1/2 small onion, 1 can black eyed-peas, 1/2 cup Catalina dressing, salt & pepper to taste and a splash of Tabasco
Drain black eyed peas, but do not rinse
Find your prettiest Mexican styled bowl
Slice avocado’s in half, hit the seed with the blade of your knife and pop the seed out
Then scoop around the flesh with a spoon, and chop into bit sized pieces and add to bowl
Chop tomatoes and add to bowl
Finely chop onions and add to bowl
Then add drained black eye peas
salt & pepper to taste
And a splash of tabasco
Measure 1/2 cup catalina dressing and pour into salad (you could also use french or thousand island)
Mix well and enjoy!
