Sorry, I didn't get a picture of the dip I made, I will get one next time because I will definitely be making this again!

Black Eyed Pea Dip

serves 10-12

3 Cups cooked black eyed peas, mashed

2 Cups cooked black eyed peas, whole

3 Tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped

1-2 Tablespoons jalapenos, diced

1/2 Onion, diced

2/3 Cup salsa (can be mild, medium, or hot, depending on desired taste)

1 Tablespoon lime juice

2/3 Cup Tofutti Better Than Sour Cream

1-2 Cups Daiya Shredded Pepperjack Cheese

Salt and Pepper to taste

Hot sauce to taste (I use Cholula)

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and spread in greased or non-stick shallow casserole dish.  Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes, or until heated through.  I served this with tortilla chips. 

Note:  I prepared most of the ingredients in my food processor.  Also, the heat of this dip can vary depending on amount/type of peppers, salsa, and cheese used.  This can be served with a layer of salsa on top.  This is a great party appetizer.
