This is not fancy, but it is always a hit and you can buy chopped peppers and onions in the deli or bagged salad section of the grocery store. It is a modified Paula Dean recipe and she calls it South Georgia Caviar:
Black-Eyed Pea Caviar
2 15-oz cans of black eyed peas, drained
1 15-oz cans or whole kernel corn, drained
1 10-oz can diced tomatoes and green chilies (Ro-Tel and I like the mild one)
2 cups chopped red bell pepper
1 or 2 chopped fresh jalapeno peppers (this is where I differ from Paula, she puts in 1/2 of chopped jalapenos!)
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 8-oz bottle Italian dressing
1 4-oz jar chopped pimentos, drained
Gently mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl and refrigerate it over night. I put this in a huge zip lock bag and make sure nothing is going to smash the bag in the refrigerator. Serve this with scoops tortilla chips and scoops corn chips or just use the corn chips. Most people seem to like the corn chips the best. If you don't want it for the Christmas holidays, it works great for New Years and the Super Bowl.
