Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup dried black eyed peas (or 2 cans, see note)
- 1 (0.6 oz) package Good Seasons Zesty Italian salad dressing mix
- 1/4 cup white vinegar
- 3 Tbsp water
- 1/2 cup canola or vegetable oil
- 1 (14.5 oz) can corn, drained
- 1 (14.5 oz) can petite diced tomatoes
- 1/2 tsp garlic salt
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 2 green onions, diced
- 1/4–1/2 cup chopped pickled tame jalapenos
Instructions
- For dried black eyed peas: add 3 cups water, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 cup dried black eyed peas into your Instant Pot. Cover and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 8 minutes. When time is up let the pot sit for 10 minutes and then move valve to venting. Remove the lid. Drain and rise the black eyed peas in a colander. Set in the refrigerator until cooled.
- In a large bowl add the black eyed peas, Italian salad dressing mix, vinegar, 3 Tbsp water, oil, corn, tomatoes, garlic salt, cilantro, green onions and jalapenos. Stir.
- The longer you let it sit the better it will taste. I suggest letting it sit in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. But if you can’t wait you can eat it right away (guilty). Serve with tortilla chips.
Notes
For canned black eyed peas: drain and rinse in a colander. Then start with step 2.
