A little red white and blue to celebrate the 4th of July
This would be great anytime of year.
My good friend Annette served us this tasty salsa
when we went over to her home.
What else would you start with but fresh tomatoes?
This salsa also uses canned black-eyed peas
Canned corn, but fresh off the cob would be great too.
Fresh green onions and cilantro
To store any leftover cilantro, cut off the stems and place
in a glass or jar of water in the fridge.
The dressing is Good Seasons Italian Dressing
made according to package directions.
I used apple cider vinegar, but any would work.
Red salsa, white and blue corn tortilla chips are perfect.
These blue chips were "red hot" so they had a little red in them.
Yummy Corn Salsa
(aka Cowboy Caviar
4-6 Roma tomatoes, chopped
1-15 oz. can black-eyed peas, drained
1-15 oz. can corn, drained
1 bunch green onions, chopped
1/2-1 bunch cilantro, chopped
1 envelope Good Seasons Italian Dressing Mix, made
according to directions.
Mix all ingredients together and then add the dressing.
Optional: You can add 1-2 cubed avocados right
before serving.
I think I could live off of chips and salsa.
Make something Red Whiteand Blue today.
I will be posting this with Foodie Friday
and
This looks so yummy, Jacqueline! Thanks for vising my blog. I wanted to tell you that I did not make my placemats. I have had them for years. I have a friend who liked them so much that she made a set for herself. I like hers better because she used pockets from real jeans. So cute! Just like jeans, these placemats are so easy to care for. Hope things cool down for you soon!
ReplyDeleteJacqueline, I just saw your note at StoneGable. Congratulations- your precious little one is in our prayers- hope all is well and her entry is grand!

Jacqueline,
ReplyDeleteYour salsa looks wonderfully yummy!
I've never thought of adding blackeyed peas, but it would be a nice change from black beans!
Thanks for sharing...

This looks really easy to make and looks so yummy too. I love the white and blue chips with red salsa. That's my kind of red, white, and blue.
ReplyDeleteNice. I was wondering where the blue would come in! This would be a great addition to my Vegetarian Foodie Fridays carnival if you feel like joining. Here's my url. Hope to see you there. http://www.breastfeedingmomsunite.com/2010/07/vegetarian-foodie-fridays-rice-fried-vegetables/

ReplyDeletePerfect dish for a picnic! I'm going to add this to my menu to make for the 4th! I love how fresh and healthy this recipe is!
And your red, white and blue tablescape was "sparkling"! I love that you rolled the icecream in sprinkles! Wonderful and creative idea. I'll have to try that one! What a stellar shot of the sparkler in the icecream. Magazine worthy!
Have a happy 4th!
