How to Make Addicting Sweet And Sour Salsa

Finely chop 1 red bell pepper, 1 green bell pepper, and 1/2 medium red onion. Combine in a large bowl with 1 (15-ounce) can black-eyed peas (drained and rinsed), 1 cup shoepeg corn (fresh or frozen, thawed), and 1 (4-ounce) jar pimientos (drained and chopped).
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, and 2 tablespoons tiger sauce (or your favorite hot sauce, adjust to taste).
Pour the wet ingredients over the chopped vegetables and beans. Gently stir to combine.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably longer for a more intense flavor. The longer it marinates, the softer the vegetables will become.
Serve chilled with tortilla chips or as a topping for grilled chicken or fish. Enjoy!
