Blackeye Pea and Fresh Corn Salad

What You Will Need:

1 Can         Blackeye Peas

1 Cup        Cherry Tomatoes

6 Ears        Corn, Fresh off the Cob

1/2 cup      Cucumbers

1                Jalapeno

1/2 cup      Red Onion

1/2 cup      Sweet Peppers, Orange or Red

1/4 cup      Sugar

1/2 cup      Rice Vinegar

                  Salt and Pepper



Directions:

Whisk the vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper to taste together and set aside.  Blanch the corn in hot boiling water for 1 minute, put directly into ice water.  Cool and cut off the cob.  Mix the corn kernels and blackeye peas along with the remaining ingredients in a large bowl.  Add the dressing.  Season with salt and pepper to taste.


This is a great side dish for grilling out this summer.  Nothing better than using vegetables from your garden or farmer's market.  Enjoy!
