Black-Eyed Pea Dip/ Salad

We are vacationing at my mom's house in Hilton Head, SC!! I found this recipe that my mom had from my sister Patsy and said it was great. You can make it a dip which we did with Tortilla chips. You could also use Frito scoops or any other type you would like. My mom likes to have it as a salad for lunch. It would go wonderfully with fish or chicken for dinner. We also were able to use our jalapenos we brought from our garden at home!! Enjoy!
