A friend of mine makes this recipe and I really love it - but I wish it didn't have all of the oil! Is there a way to lighten this up? Maybe use less dressing or substitute all of the olive and vegetable oil for something else? It's very healthy and filling up until you get to that dressing!

I doubled the batch due to the amount of people coming to our party. I found this dip to be pretty bland. I added quite a bit more of the vinegar, salt and pepper. It's okay but does not really have a memorable taste. It also took me almost an hour to chop up and combine all the ingredients.

I always thought blackeyed peas tasted like chalk. I would eat a spoonful at New years dinner but only because I was told it was bad luck for the next year if you did not eat some. BUT this recipe changed my mind. I love it so much that I could just eat it with a spoon or over roasted chicken breasts. I am a true Texan now because I love BLACKEYED PEAS.

We are from Texas and fixed this for our Friend here in Canada and shared the tradition of Black-eyed peas for good luck in the New Year. Many wanted the recipe. I told them Paula Deen. Thanks for being a part of our New Year's celebration. Denise
