Roasted Poblano and Black-Eyed Peas Salsa
Score a touchdown with the football fans in your family!
In spirit of Super Bowl Sunday, sharing with you a bowl of zesty Black-eyed Peas and Poblano Salsa!
Loaded with sweet cherry tomatoes, mild heat of roasted poblano chilies, and nutrition packed black-eyed peas, this bowl of salsa will sure score a touchdown with the football fans in your family!
I'm a huge fan of black eyed-peas for the amount of potassium, protein, and fiber these offer! Other than black-eyed peas, one of my favorite ingredient in this salsa is Pasillo chili, otherwise known as Poblano peppers. This chili is very common in Mexican cuisine and has very distinct smoky flavor. I love, love adding roasted poblanos to Sofritas Verde and Chipotle Sofritas.... even sometimes, I fry leftover rice with roasted poblano to accompany mild curries.
One roasted poblano will not make this salsa very, very spicy, yet does give that subtle smoky bite! totally killer! If you can't find poblano, use a roasted jalapeno, and 1/4 teaspoon of smoked paprika to get that smoky kick!
Game day won't be complete without a bowl of salsa and chips! I bet this scrumptious mouthwatering, yet healthy salsa will end your search for a hit game day snack!
Gluten Free?
This salsa is total fit and hit among game crowd on gluten-free diet. Make sure to serve gluten free corn chips or lentil chips on the side!
Vegan?
Oh yes! This salsa is vegan too!
Other than that, no oil or sugar used for making this salsa. And it is loaded with potassium, vitamin C, fiber, lentil-proteins which are good for you!
Enjoy the zesty salsa with a big bowl of corn chips!
I hope you will have great Super Bowl Sunday!
Happy Tailgating!
