Delightful Summer Dip Recipe

This is a favorite recipe of my cousin’s for a delicious dip to bring as an hors d’oeuvres for a summer BBQ or get-together.  However, it is so yummy, you can really use it ALL year round!

It is really light & sweet & to me, addicting!  My mom made it last weekend for a family party and I am so bummed I forgot to snap a picture of it because it is so colorful! You will have to envision these pretty colors in your head as you read the ingredients…

Ingredients:

1 can black eyed peas, drained

1 cup frozen white corn

1 small jar red pimentos

1 large red pepper chopped into very small pieces

4 green onions chopped into very small pieces

2 firm but not too ripe avocados cut into small pieces (add to dip right before serving)

Marinade:

¾ cup sugar

½ cup rice wine vinegar

½ cup vegetable oil

1 Tbsp. Tiger sauce

Salt and pepper to taste

Mix ingredients together and then pour marinade mixture over ingredients.  Stir and refrigerate for at least 3 hours. Right before serving, drain some of the oil off so it is not so runny.  Add avocadoes and stir gently.

Serve with tortilla chips – the scoops work best.

Then, watch your guests take a scoop and exclaim YUM as they go back for more!  Have a yummy weekend everyone! See you back on Monday!
