Corn Salsa or Cowboy Caviar

A little red white and blue to celebrate the 4th of July
This would be great anytime of year.
My good friend Annette served us this tasty salsa
when we went over to her home.


What else would you start with but fresh tomatoes?
This salsa also uses canned black-eyed peas
Canned corn, but fresh off the cob would be great too.
Fresh green onions and cilantro
To store any leftover cilantro, cut off the stems and place
in a glass or jar of water in the fridge.
The dressing is Good Seasons Italian Dressing
made according to package directions.
I used apple cider vinegar, but any would work.
Red salsa, white and blue corn tortilla chips are perfect.
These blue chips were "red hot" so they had a little red in them.

Yummy Corn Salsa
(aka Cowboy Caviar

4-6 Roma tomatoes, chopped
1-15 oz. can black-eyed peas, drained
1-15 oz. can corn, drained
1 bunch green onions, chopped
1/2-1 bunch cilantro, chopped
1 envelope Good Seasons Italian Dressing Mix, made
according to directions.

Mix all ingredients together and then add the dressing.
Optional:  You can add 1-2 cubed avocados right
before serving.
I think I could live off of chips and salsa.

Make something Red Whiteand Blue today.

I will be posting this with Foodie Friday
and

Chocolat - French for Chocolate. I adored chocolate from a young age when I had to sneak in the cupboard to find where my mother had hidden the Nestle's Chocolate Chips. Having read about the famous chocolat shoppes in Paris, when I finally got there I was determined to try a chocolate from every Paris shoppe. I invite you to share my adventures in creating, in travel, and in life.

  1. This looks so yummy, Jacqueline! Thanks for vising my blog. I wanted to tell you that I did not make my placemats. I have had them for years. I have a friend who liked them so much that she made a set for herself. I like hers better because she used pockets from real jeans. So cute! Just like jeans, these placemats are so easy to care for. Hope things cool down for you soon!

  3. Jacqueline,
    Your salsa looks wonderfully yummy!
    I've never thought of adding blackeyed peas, but it would be a nice change from black beans!
    Thanks for sharing...

  10. Jacqueline,
    Perfect dish for a picnic! I'm going to add this to my menu to make for the 4th! I love how fresh and healthy this recipe is!

    And your red, white and blue tablescape was "sparkling"! I love that you rolled the icecream in sprinkles! Wonderful and creative idea. I'll have to try that one! What a stellar shot of the sparkler in the icecream. Magazine worthy!

    Have a happy 4th!
