Mississippi Caviar

Made some of this yummy chip-dipper this past weekend.


2 16 oz. cans black eyes peas, drained
1/2 cup finely chopped green pepper
1/2 cup finely chopped yellow pepper
1/2 cup finely chopped red pepper
3/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup drained, shopped pimento
1 garlic clove, chopped
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
2/3 cup olive oil
1 tsp dijon mustard
salt- to taste
tabasco sauce, to taste

Combine peas, bell peppers, onion, pimento and garlic. In separate bowl, whisk together vinegar, oil and mustard and pour over the bean mixture; mix well.
Season to taste with salt and Tabasco sauce. With a wooden spoon or potato masher, mash the bean mixture slightly. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Drain well and serve with tortilla chips. I ate the last 2/3 right out of the bowl with a spoon. What?
