"My neighbor gave me a container of this zippy, tangy salsa one Christmas and I had to have the recipe," notes Kathy Faris of Lytle, Texas. "I fix it regularly for potlucks and get-togethers and never have leftover. I take copies of the recipe with me whenever I take the salsa."

I've been making this for years. The only way my mother could get me to eat black eyed peas for New Years. The only difference is I throw in red pepper flakes for heat! ;-) Real "Texas" style!

This is one of our family favorites. I'm always asked to bring it to our big family gatherings. I have to triple the recipe and we still run out quickly. Yummy!

Super easy!! I just have to remember to go and look for pimentos with the vegetables and not with the pickles & olives. I think it might also be good with some avocado chunks in it also. But all in all a very YUMMY recipe!!
