I love this recipe! I will use it from now on. I did substitute one can of hot Rotel tomatoes for the chopped cherry tomatoes and jalapenos. It turned out delicious!!! I will be making this again and again!

I've made this dip numerous times, but I usually skip the green onions, cilantro and coriander because it's not something I keep on-hand. It's always a crowd pleaser. Use red onion for color and throw in a can of Rotel instead of the cherry tomatoes. Goes great with Scoops. Yum!

I loved this but skipped the jalapenos to make it more mild and used balsamic and olive oil instead of italian dressing...it was delicious!

I added avocados and a little salt. My guests hovered over this. My goal was to impress my sister who is a fabulous cook. I'm not and it worked!

It was good as listed but I added diced tomatoes instead of cherry tomatoes, mexicorn, juice of 1 lime and shredded cheese to it the 2nd time I made it and it was much better.

Pretty good, I've never had black eyed peas before, but they aren't bad. I also added an extra jalapeno and a bit more cilantro. I made this a day ahead, and the next day, I drained everything before I served it. Everyone really liked this.

Make this recipe even better by doing the following: Drain the "caviar" mixture before serving. Spread an 8 ounce box of cream cheese on a plate, and gently layer the caviar on top of it. People will eat this up and the cream cheese also mellows a little of the spice even if you go a little crazy with the jalapeno!

Excellent! I only used half a bell pepper and a 1/2 pint of tomatoes, and I left out the coriander (I didn't have any). It still turned out great. Next time I will add fresh sweet corn or canned shoepeg corn.

This was excellent. I served it for my 4th of July party and everyone loved it. I love all the fresh ingredients! I also just add enough italian dressing to coat. I have added corn, it's good either way. I use multi colored peppers. I am a BIG fan of chips and salsa, and I haven't bought salsa again after I discovered this! I often whip this up to take to work or serve along side supper, its a good way to get your veggies. I have made it with just black eyed peas,tomato,sweet onion,jalapeno, and dressing, cause thats all I had and I was craving this! It tasted great like that too. Great recipe!!

Made for a big birthday party - perfect with colorful blue corn tortilla chips. Followed others' advice and omitted cilantro; also used multi-color peppers to add more variety, plus added 1 can of mexicorn, and cut back on the amount of dressing (Kraft Zesty Italian) Fabulous!

Thank you for sharing this fabulous recipe. It is very fresh tasting and goes great with chips and guacamole or any other Tex-Mex dish (and a cold beer or some sangria)! It has become a big family favorite - especially with my husband and all the other men. I agree that it needs a few hours (or better yet overnight) for the flavors to blend.

Very good recipe, but be forwarned: quality of ingredients really makes or breaks this recipe. I made it the first time as written, with fresh tomatoes, and it was absolutely devoured. I made it again, with canned tomatoes and the results were drastically different. It barely got touched. If you are going to use canned tomatoes, make sure they are a good quality, preferably with the coated lining that prevents the tomatoes from taking on "that canned tomato taste."

Fabulous! I've made this twice with a few variations using the comments of others. I added a can of corn and used a can of petite diced tomatoes. I also added fresh lime juice and some garlic - I like spicy. I didn't use the entire bottle of dressing - just enough for a good coating.

This is AWESOME for tailgating! Have done a few variations with the beans and onions and added a few Thai peppers to give it an EXTRA kick. Make sure to let it sit overnight before serving so the flavors can meld. We had guys just eating it by itself after they ran out of tortilla chips....

Festive colors and great flavor. I did not have fresh cilantro, and added corn but was still very good. Only down size is the large amount that it makes. The flavor does get better overnight but you loose the color.

This is the bomb! When my husband sees me on this site, he groans. But when I made this for him ... he asked for more. So now he's not too bothered when I experiment... err practice. I've done some of the variations that others have posted (like mexicali-corn or avacado) and it still comes out GREAT. Wonderful for New Years Eve/Day ... as Black-Eyed Peas are a tradition of that time of year. We eat this with corn-chip scoops -- yummy. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Awesome! Took this to bachelorette party and food day at work, both groups loved it. Added corn as suggested and used low-fat Italian dressing to keep it light for the bride-to-be!
