A friend of my dad  gifted us with a beautiful bounty of tomatoes and turnips.  So in a quest to eat them all and not let one single tomato go bad I decided to whip up this fabulous easy, delicious and nutritious dish.  Even if your not a black eyed peas fan or not to fond of avocado’s (which I don’t believe you exists) you’ve gotta try this combination of flavors.

This would be great to take to a party because it doesn’t have to be refrigerated.   Also tastes great as a dip with tortilla chips.

Ingredients: 3 Large Avocado’s, 4 Large tomatoes, 1/2 small onion, 1 can black eyed-peas, 1/2 cup Catalina dressing, salt & pepper to taste and a splash of Tabasco
