2 cans (15 ounces each) black-eyed peas or black beans, drained and rinsed (try a mix or other types)
1 ½ cups corn (fresh, frozen, or canned, drained and rinsed)
1 bunch cilantro, chopped
1 bunch green onions (about 5 green onions), chopped
3 medium tomatoes, diced
1 avocado, chopped (optional)
1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
2 Tablespoons vinegar or lime juice
½ teaspoon each salt and pepper
