Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all the drained and rinsed beans, corn, chopped red onion, diced red and green bell peppers, and minced jalapeño pepper.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together all the dressing ingredients: olive oil, red wine vinegar, sugar, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper until well combined and the sugar begins to dissolve.
- Pour the prepared vinaigrette dressing over the bean and vegetable mixture in the large bowl.
- Gently fold all the ingredients together until everything is evenly coated with the dressing. Be careful not to mash the beans.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably 4 hours, to allow the flavors to meld together properly.
- Before serving, give the dip a final stir. Serve chilled with tortilla chips, sturdy crackers, or raw vegetables.
Notes
For the best flavor, make this dip at least 4 hours ahead of time or even the day before. If you prefer a softer dip consistency, briefly mash about 1/4 cup of the black-eyed peas before mixing.
