Texas Caviar

Are you looking for a quick, easy, delicious and low cal appetizer for new year's eve?  Well, look no further my friends!  This dip, which is made with black eyed peas, corn and Rotel tomatoes, for a little spice, is the perfect thing!  Black eyed peas are traditionally eaten on new year's day for good luck in the coming year but why not start early?  Or make a double batch and have some on new year's day too!  Serve this with tortilla chips for dipping or just eat by itself as a refreshing salad!  Enjoy!
