Splendid Texas Caviar

Ingredients

15 ounces cans of black eyed peas, drained and rinsed

1 The juice of lime

1 ripe roma tomato, chopped

2 cloves garlic, peeled and finely chopped

1/2 cup chopped cilantro

3 tablespoons of good quality salsa verde

a few drops of your favorite hot sauce

(green Tabasco gives nice flavor without heat)

Mix together all of the ingredients together and allow them to sit in the refrigerator for 5 hours or overnight (if you can).

It's best if you take the beans out of the refrigerator about an hour before serving to bring them to room temperature.

This lucky "bean dip" is great served with corn chips!
