Helpful Tips

  • This dip is best served with tortilla chips.
  • You can make this dip and serve it right away if you are crunched for time. It will be more flavorful if you refrigerate it for a day.
  • The black eyed peas will have to be rinsed a few times to get them clean.
  • If you want to skip cutting the medium onion, so you don’t cry, your local grocery store probably carries containers of already chopped onions.  This is what I do.  It is time-saving and easy.
  • You can add other ingredients to this dip such as 1 – 15 ounce can of drained corn, freshly chopped avocado (do this right before serving so it doesn’t brown), 1 – 15 ounce can of rinsed and drained pinto beans, and you can do different peppers if you like a bit more zip to your dip.
  • guaranteeThis dip can even be made a few days ahead of time but no guarantees that it will make it to your party.
  • Store this dip in the refrigerator in an air-tight container for up to 2 weeks.
