This was okay but a little watery.

I made this for my office potluck. I used a mixed of black beans and red beans instead of black eye peas. I made it the night before without the avocado then added it in right before serving. I didn't like the soupiness so I used a slotted spoon before I served it to get the juices out. And ...It turned out delicious!!

I made this for a carry-in at work and everyone loved it. I added 2 tbsp fresh cilantro and a few sliced green onions I had on hand as well as a sweet red onion. Perfect for this time of year when the tomatoes are fresh!

Spicy and sweet! I really enjoyed this. I used fat-free italian dressing and added a bunch of cilantro that I chopped up. This is good with or without the avocados. If using the avocado, pour some lime juice over it before adding it to the mixture so it doesn't brown up right away. Served with tortilla chips.

Made this recently for a BBQ and it was quite a hit. It does make quite a bit. I might halve the recipe next time. I also added the juice of one lime. Seemed like it needed a little citrus flavor.

I added some cilantro and a splash of lime, and used about two ounces of Italian dressing. This will become a staple.

i've made this several times and everyone raves about it! Instead of 2 cans of black beans, I only put 1 but I add 1 can of corn. Also, I only add the dressing just enough to coat everything. Otherwise it gets too mushy.

Very yummy! I made the italian dressing called for from the recipe on this site, "Italian dressing mix." I highly recommend it! I also used less onion, and it came out great!!!! Served with cheesy doritos, and loved it.

I was skeptical about the Italian dressing, but this was SO good. I let it marinate overnight without, then drained the excess dressing and added the avacado right before the party...it was a big hit!

When I went to store on New Year's Day they were out of canned black eyed peas, so I used a 16 oz. bag of frozen peas instead. I put them in a pot of salted water, brought them to a boil, and then reduced to a simmer and simmered for 30 minutes. Then I drained them, and added everything but the avocado. I also added cilantro and green onion. I was also afraid that I couldn't chop the jalapeno fine enough and I wanted the heat and flavor without anyone getting a chunk of jalapeno, so I blended the chopped jalapeno with the cup of salad dressing, and it also seemed to thicken the salad dressing a little, and reduce the "soupiness" others talked about.

I do a variation of this recipe! The exact recipe is good, but I do not add Tomatoes or jalapeno, and I do add corn and green peppers!

Quick and easy and perfect for a potluck. I made everything but the avocados the night before my office potluck and then added them in the morning. It was great because it gave me a little extra time to ripen the avocados.

I've made this before, but not with avocado...what a yummy addition! I also added one bell pepper. This was so good and refreshing from the normal 'dip'. Excellent on a hot summer day!
