Albama (Texas) Caviar

ALABAMA CAVIAR
(Recipe from Ross Bridge Sous Chef Joshua Toey)
Birmingham News, 12/24/2008, p. 8G

1 cup cooked black-eyed peas, rinsed and drained
1/8 cup chopped red onion
1 tbsp. chopped green bell peppers (or jalapenos for Texas version)
1 tbsp. chopped red bell peppers
1 tbsp. chopped yellow bell peppers
¼ cup quartered cherry tomatoes
1 tbsp. chopped parsley
2 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
¼ cup olive oil
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
Salt and pepper to taste

Mix all ingredients together and chill at least two hours.

This is said to bring good luck if eaten on New Year's Eve. It's healthy enough to bring good luck if eaten year-round.
