Super Easy and Spicy Black Eyed Pea and Corn Salsa

I came up with this topping/side dish while trying to figure out how I could get the only two vegetables my husband eats into one dish. It’s great over pan-fried fish, a healthy alternative to queso on enchiladas, and wonderful with brown rice. It’s spicy and simple. Like our love!
