This zesty bean salsa offers a hearty twist on classic tomato salsa. It combines tinned black-eyed peas, black beans, sweetcorn, and diced tomatoes with fresh onion and green pepper. Diced jalapeños and garlic salt provide a kick, while Italian dressing brings everything together. The mixture must be chilled for at least 8 hours to allow the flavours to meld perfectly, resulting in a robust dip or side dish.
