This is very good but my version is simpler and over the top! Skip the cilantro, tomato and jalapeno, and add a can of Rotel tomatoes, drained, and some chopped green (or any color) bell pepper along with the chopped onion and the blackeyed peas.Add the italian dressing (even fat free) and serve it with scoop-shaped tortilla chips! You won't be able to stop eating it!

I made this back in the eighties when I worked in a deli for the salad bar it was a hit back then as well.

The major HOT from the peppers comes from the seeds, so if you want the flavor without the intense heat, carefully remove the seeds, and make sure if you touch them with your fingers, do NOT touch your eyes, or they will burn

Made this today and it is awesome. Will never eat boring plain ol' black eyed peas again. This is a keeper.

From the recipe title, I was expecting something along the lines of "prairie oysters" ;)

You can "soften" the burn from the jalapeno if you drop it in boiling water for 1-2 mins
