Luck from the South

South Georgia Caviar

Made: December 31, 2012

Ingredients
- 2 cans (15oz) black-eyed peas, rinsed and drained
- 1 can (15 oz) corn kernels, drained
- 1 can (14.5oz) spicy diced tomatoes
- 2 cups chopped red bell pepper
- 1/2 cup chopped jalapeno pepper
- 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion
- 1 bottle (8oz) Italian dressing
- 1 jar (4oz) chopped pimientos, drained
- Tortilla chips or crackers for dipping

Directions
- In a large serving bowl, mix together the black-eyed peas, corn, tomatoes, bell pepper, jalapeno pepper, onion, Italian dressing and pimientos
- Cover and refridgerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to let the flavors come out
- Serve with tortilla chips or crackers for dipping

I didn't quite make this to the recipe; but I used it as inspiration to make my own little salad suited for my likes and to try something new for the New Year; since it's heard that black-eyed peas bring luck for the new year.

Ingreidents
- 1 can black-eyed peas, rinsed and drained
- 1 can corn kernels, drained
- 1 can stewed tomatoes - Italian recipe
- Salt & Pepper

Directions
- In a large skillet, mix together the black-eyed peas, corn and stewed tomatoes
- Season with salt & pepper
- Heat throughout over medium-high heat until the stewed tomatoes have softened
- Chill for 4 hours
- Serve with chips or crackers

 I think it came out quite nice and flavorful. I used stewed tomatoes because it's said to bring wealth for the new year if eaten with black-eyed peas and the corn represents gold for wealth. I hope it brings you lots of health and wealth for the new year as well!
