You need to try this Black Eyed Pea Salsa!
Renamed by my daughter as “crack salsa,” this dip has been a family favorite for years. My kids grew up on it and still make it as adults. Because it’s so popular in our house, I wanted to share it here.
Late spring and summer are the perfect seasons to make this when tomatoes and avocados are at their best. Fresh produce makes the salsa especially bright and flavorful.
This recipe is flavorful, low in calories, and simple to prepare. With just four ingredients you can put together a crowd-pleasing dish ideal for picnics, pool parties, backyard barbecues, or an easy snack at home.
I served this salsa for Sunday dinner this week and, unsurprisingly, it was a hit. To keep calories lower while still enjoying a crunchy dipper, I sliced low-carb flour tortillas, lightly sprayed them with cooking spray, sprinkled with a bit of salt, and baked them until crispy. They made the perfect vehicle for dipping.
Try the black eyed pea salsa and experiment with different ways to serve it—chips, baked tortilla crisps, fresh veggies, or spooned over grilled chicken or fish.
