Steps
Tap a step to check it off.
Combine tomatoes, avocado, onion, black beans, black eyed peas, corn, pepper, jalapeno pepper, and cilantro in a large bowl. Toss/stir well so that ingredients are well-combined. You can use a zester on the jalapeño for more even spice distribution.
In a separate bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, red wine vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Pour dressing over other ingredients and stir/toss very well.
Keep refrigerated.
If not serving immediately, be sure to toss/stir well before serving.
Notes & tips
- Calories do not include tortilla chips.
- Frozen Corn: I just usually toss it in the salad frozen unless I plan on eating it immediately, it thaws quite quickly.
