Lucky New Year food

Here's a great spicy Texas favorite. Black-eyed peas and black beans, marinated in a fiery and flavorful mixture. This is great with tortilla chips and a tall glass of sweet tea.

1/2 onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 bunch green onions, chopped
2 jalapeno peppers, chopped
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 pint cherry tomatoes, quartered
1 (8 ounce) bottle zesty Italian dressing
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained
1 (15 ounce) can black-eyed peas, drained
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1 bunch chopped fresh cilantro

In a large bowl, mix together onion, green bell pepper, green onions, jalapeno peppers, garlic, cherry tomatoes, zesty Italian dressing, black beans, black-eyed peas and coriander.
Cover and chill in the refrigerator approximately 2 hours.
Toss with desired amount of fresh cilantro to serve.

Always a favorite in my kitchen. I like to add a few serrano peppers, if you like it spicey you should try it!
