Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup frozen or canned corn, drained
  • 1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
  • 1 red bell pepper, finely diced
  • 1/2 red onion, finely diced
  • 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced (optional)

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Combine the rinsed black-eyed peas, black beans, corn, tomatoes, red bell pepper, red onion, and minced jalapeño (if using) in a large mixing bowl.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper to create the zesty lime dressing.
